(MENAFN) Haitham al-Ghais, the Secretary General of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), extended his gratitude to Iran’s former Oil Minister Javad Oji for his valuable contributions to the organization. In a message to Oji, al-Ghais expressed his appreciation on behalf of both the organization and the OPEC secretariat staff, acknowledging the positive impact of Oji’s service during his tenure.

The message concluded with a recognition of OPEC’s achievements over the decades and a reaffirmation of its commitment to adapting and thriving in the face of ongoing challenges. This 64th anniversary celebration is an occasion to honor the organization's legacy and look forward to its continued impact on the global energy future.
