Ahmadinejad to Attend Gas Forum Conference in Moscow | ||
Ahmadinejad to Attend Gas Forum Conference in Moscow Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad plans to visit Moscow early July to join the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) meeting.
The conference will be held on July 1-2 in the Russian capital city of Moscow. It is likely to be the final foreign visit of Ahmadinejad as the Iranian president, considering the upcoming presidential elections in Iran which will take place on June 14, 2013. Algeria, Bolivia, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Iran, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Russia, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela are the eleven members of GECF. The gas cartel is still officially known as the Gas Forum, but major exporters Iran and Russia last year started a move to change the body into an OPEC like organization called the Organization of Gas Exporting Countries (OGEC). Iran, Russia, Qatar, Venezuela and Algeria are among the GECF’s member states which possess 42% of the world’s gas reserves | ||
