\u201cUndoubtedly, His Excellency\u2019s round-the-clock efforts as the OPEC Secretary General to promote solidarity and unity among Member Countries, along with his trust in collective wisdom and efforts for creating understanding have always helped the Organization and its Members,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe outcomes of His Excellency\u2019s timely and effective measures over the past six years have helped our Organization, and the world economy to promote stability. These achievements, which are the result of his valuable services as the OPEC Secretary General, will be remembered in the history of the OPEC and the world oil market,\u201d Owji stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also congratulated Haitham Al Ghais for assuming the position of the OPEC Secretary General, saying, \u201cI am confident that your appointment will be a critical step in advancing the Organization, achieving the collective goals of the OPEC and its Members and the fair and forward-looking leadership of the OPEC Secretariat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Islamic Republic of Iran, as a founding member of OPEC, would definitely continue its constructive interaction with the OPEC and would effectively support our new Secretary General as well as the OPEC Secretariat,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cI am confident that the OPEC\u2019s successes in recent years will continue in the future under the leadership of Mr. Al Ghais.
