Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi expressed hope Saturday that the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) would control instability and restore “calm at oil markets.” The Iranian presidency broadcast Raisi’s statement while receiving OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais in Tehran.
“Constructive cooperation among OPEC member states is a key factor in making a successful work,” he noted.
Tehran has always cooperated constructively with the organization and will continue “this mission to promote this path in the future,” he said.
Meanwhile, Al-Ghais said Iran, as one of the founding members of the organization, has always been “useful and constructive” in collaboration with the organization and its members.
Al-Ghais voiced his hope for restoring “calm (stability) at the markets,” thanks to the unity among OPEC member states.
Al-Ghais arrived in Tehran earlier to hold talks with Raisi and Energy Minister Javad Owji to review the oil markets.
