Iran’s Ahmadinejad to head next OPEC meeting
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will attend the next OPEC meeting set for June 8 in Vienna, the semi-official Fars news agency quoted a senior official as saying on Wednesday.
Iran is the world’s fifth-largest oil exporter and holds the one-year rotating presidency of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting countries (OPEC), ministers of which are due to meet next month to discuss oil output policy.
“Considering that the president is the oil ministry’s caretaker, Ahmadinejad will attend the upcoming OPEC meeting,” said Mohammad Reza Mirtajeddini.
