Also, a number of heads of the leading international bodies take part in today’s Tehran event.
This year GECF summit meeting is different from the previous ones due to some reasons including the special conditions of the gas market these days, the important developments in that market as well as getting closer to the day of removal of anti-Iran sanctions.
Also, this year summit meeting has been largely welcomed by the member countries.
