Riyadh (ANTARA News) - Saudi Arabian King Abdullah will bestow an award on Soebroto, a former Indonesian mining minister and OPEC secretary general, for changing the image of OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries).
"I am considered to have been successful in changing the West`s negative view of OPEC," Soebroto, who served as OPEC secretary general from 1988 to 1994, told ANTARA on a flight to Riyadh, Tuesday.
Under Soebroto`s leadership, OPEC managed to stabilize world oil prices and accommodate the oil consuming countries` interests.
The award will be presented during the Third Summit of OPEC to be held in Riyadh on November 17 and 18, 2007. Indonesian Vice President Yusuf Kalla is expected to attend the event which will be participated in by 12 OPEC member countries.
