Iran will assume the presidency of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) for the first time in 36 years.

The country’s oil minister was elected as Opec president at a one-day meeting of the group, which is made up of 12 oil producing states.

Masoud Mir-Kazemi will hold the presidency from 1 January 2011.

Iran, which takes over from Ecuador, is Opec’s second-largest oil producer and holds about 10% of world oil reserves.

At the meeting in Vienna, Opec also agreed to keep its oil production target unchanged at about 24.8 million barrels a day.

The price of oil is currently trading at about $84 a barrel.
