Iran is one of the world's largest gas producers and one of the founders of GECF, which has served as its secretary-general for two terms.
Members of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) account for 44% of world gas production, 67% of world gas reserves, 64% of pipeline gas transmission, and 66% of liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade.
Amir- Abdollahian further wrote that Iran-Qatar relations are rooted in the public and popular sectors and are based on common interests, and strengthening relations with neighbors, especially Arab countries, is a key priority in Iranian politics.
