Barkindo emphasised that he has witnessed both challenging and historic moments over the last six years, which have underscored time and again the importance of cooperation and teamwork.

 

He however said that none of the achievements would have been possible without the tireless efforts of the OPEC Secretariat members of staff, highlighting their dedication and professionalism.

 

Barkindo will become a Distinguished Fellow of the Council after he completes his second successful term as OPEC Secretary-General on Aug. 1, 2022.
