LUANDA, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- Angola is to chair the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) as from Jan. 1, 2009, Angolan Oil Minister Desiderio Costa said here on Thursday.

"This is an announcement that helps plan our country both politically and economically and also is what we intend: establishing Angola in its right place," said Desiderio Costa.

The Angolan oil minister highlighted the fact that the news arrived at a very special moment for Angola, just after the holding of the parliamentary election on September 5, the first since the 27-year civil war ended in the southwestern African country in 2002.

Angola became a full OPEC member during the organization's 143rd extraordinary meeting held on December 14, 2006 in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.
