OPEC President, Diezani Alison-Madueke, on thursday appointed as the President of the Ministerial Meeting of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF).
She is also the first female appointed by the body barely three weeks after she became the first woman president of OPEC.
Diezani who can't attend the 16th Ministerial Conference of the GECF meeting due to ongoing negotiations to end oil workers' strike in Nigeria, was represented by Nigerian Ambassador to Qatar, Shuaibu A.Ahmed.
The GECF is an inter-governmental organization established in Tehran, Iran, in 2001, to serve as a platform to promote the exchange of experience, views, information and coordination in global gas exploration and production trends; current and anticipated supply-demand balance for gas; worldwide gas exploration, production and transportation technologies; the structure and development of gas markets (regional and global), amongst other common issues that pertain to the exploration, production and trade in natural gas.
The Forum is made up of twelve of the world’s leading producers of natural gas. It controls over 70% of global natural gas reserves, 85% of global liquefied natural gas production, and 38% of global pipeline trade of the product.
