Not only we have the largest gas reserves in the world, but also we are neighbors with the largest holders from the north and south, Russia, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan to the north and Qatar to the south, as well as the corridor through Turkey, the Iranian minister stated.

Iran’s main strategy is to provide maximum support to cooperation and collective decisions in accordance with the statutes and procedures agreed by the GECF’s Assembly members, Owji said.

Iran is one of the largest natural gas reservoirs globally, with access to exports with the European continent, and is one of the founders of GECF.

Iranian President Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi is included in the list of speakers this Tuesday at the 6th summit of GECF, based in Doha, Qatar, where he arrived in on Monday on an invitation by Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
