Leading articles
SHARQ in an opinion column says the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) conference will be held in the coming days in Vienna. The writer says that he thinks the participation of the president in the meeting will undermine the status of Iran. He states that no president has chaired an OPEC meeting so far. The writer also says the OPEC meeting is different than a cabinet meeting. The OPEC meeting is an international event, and the president’s participation will not be in national interests. When a member state host a meeting, the president of that country usually delivers a short speech at the meeting and then leaves the conference. The writer also says that we have many oil experts in our country who can represent Iran at OPEC conference. The writer also states that discussions are underway to convince President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad not to participate in the OPEC meeting. And it is possible that Iran would be stripped of the OPEC presidency.
TEHRAN-E EMROOZ in a news report quotes Expediency Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaii as saying that the “deviant current” is pursuing both political and economic goals. Rezaii pointed out the activities of the deviant current, and added that one of the most important functions of leadership in the Iranian political arena is to deal with deviations. He added we have seen that some deviations have surfaced in the society since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution. This had happened during the leadership of the late Imam Khomeini, the Founder of the Islamic Revolution and has also happened during the leadership of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Rezaii said.
IRAN in a news report quotes Tehran’s Ambassador to Seoul, Ahmad Masoumifar as saying that economic cooperation between Iran and South Korea has increased over the past years. He added that the two countries have maintained their economic relations despite the sanctions that have been imposed on Iran. Masoumifar also said that the Iranian companies are cooperating with the economic sectors of South Korea.
