‘Iran to run for OPEC top post’ - Gayo Lues
Iran, OPEC’s second-largest producer, has always played an active role in the choice for the secretary general of this organization, Khatibi said in an interview with Dow Jones.
Ecuador, OPEC’s smallest producer, has reportedly nominated a potential successor to current OPEC Secretary General Abdullah al-Badri, whose term ends at the end of 2012.
The secretary general, the main representative on the world stage of the 12-member Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, helps formulate the group’s output policy and is in charge of the Vienna secretariat of OPEC.
Candidates from Iran and Ecuador would bring the number of countries competing for the role to four. OPEC will discuss the issue at its next meeting on June 14 in Vienna.
The two declared candidates are Thamir Ghadhban, the top energy adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Nuria al-Maliki, and Saudi Arabia’s longtime OPEC governor, Majid Al-Moneef.
