Iraqi oil minister to attend OPEC

AN Iraqi delegation will attend next week's meeting of OPEC members for the first time since US-led forces deposed former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, a significant boost for a new government hungry for international recognition.

OPEC Secretary General Alvaro Silva told senior members of the Iraqi oil ministry in a phone conversation that Iraq's oil minister would be welcome at the September 24 meeting in Vienna, OPEC spokesman Omar Ibrahim said from the group's headquarters in the Austrian capital.

The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries dropped its insistence that Iraq's attendance be made conditional on UN recognition of the American-backed interim government in Baghdad, in a sign of growing international acceptance of Iraq's new Governing Council.

In Baghdad, Iraq's oil minister, Ibrahim Bahr al-Uloum, confirmed that he would attend.

Iraq's return to the U-shaped table at the OPEC Secretariat will be an important step in its rehabilitation as an oil producer.
