Envoy Underscores Iran's Preparedness to Further Help OFID
Iranian ambassador to the UN agencies headquartered in Vienna Kazzem Qaribabadi in a meeting with Director-General of the OPEC Fund for International Development Abdul Hamid al-Khalifa underlined his country's readiness to continue assistance to the OFID to implement developmental projects in other countries.
During the meeting in Vienna on Thursday, Qaribabadi maintained that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as one of the key Member States of the OFID, has always supported the organization, its objectives and activities, and is ready to develop cooperation during al-Khalifa’s term as the OFID chief.
He also noted Iran’s high capacity and potential in scientific and industrial fields, voicing the country’s readiness to contribute to the implementation of development projects in countries in need.
Al-Khalifa, for his part, praised Iran’s active and significant role as one of the founders of the organization, and welcomed the Iranian envoy’s proposal of using the technical expertise of the Member States in carrying out OFID projects.
He also stressed that OFID’s aid to countries is by no means politically-motivated, and the organization makes every effort to stay away from politicized objectives.
OFID, which was established in 1976 by Member States of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, is the intergovernmental development finance institution with an aim to reinforce financial cooperation between OPEC Member Countries and other developing countries, by providing financial support to the latter for their socioeconomic development.
