Tehran, Dec 11, IRNA Venezuelan Ambassador to Tehran Amenhotep Zambrano said here Wednesday that his country supports Irans candidacy for the post of secretary general of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Zambrano told IRNA that Iran is a friendly and brotherly country for Venezuela, adding that the Islamic Republic is a powerful and influential country in the Middle East region.
He said Caracas will support Irans candidacy for the OPEC secretary general post the same as it did for the country during the Gas Exporting Countries Forum.
As to Tehran-Caracas ties, he said the two have already signed ten oil agreements, expressing hope the two nations would witness further expansion of all-out cooperation.
OPEC will increase as countries like Iran, Iraq and Libya will likely try to produce more than the quota assigned to them, given that they had produced considerably less in the previous couple of years. http://bit.ly/OPECanalysis
