The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries will welcome Iran’s return to the oil market when the US sanctions are removed, the secretary-general of OPEC said.
“The National Iranian Oil Company has the capacity to bring on substantial production volumes within a short period of time,” Haitham al-Ghais, who is visiting Tehran for the first time, said in an exclusive interview with the Oil Ministry’s news portal Shana on Tuesday.
"We believe that Iran is a responsible player among OPEC members. I am positive there will be effective collaboration to ensure that the market will remain balanced as OPEC has continued to do over the past many years.”
Al-Ghais praised Iran as a founder member of OPEC that has always had fruitful, effective and constructive cooperation with other members.
