据路透社11月16日伦敦报道,由于国际能源署(IEA)寻求扩大其成员基础,墨西哥15日向这个工业化国家的能源政策顾问提交了一份加入IEA的申请书。
IEA在一份声明中说,墨西哥能源部长佩德罗·科德韦尔15日向IEA总干事法提赫·比罗尔提交了一份请求加入这个目前包括29个成员国组织的信件。
比罗尔说:“墨西哥提交申请书是IEA加强与墨西哥联系的一次极好机会,IEA将向整个拉丁美洲更大程度地参与打开大门。”
在1973年石油冲击以后,为了向西方经济体提供如何处理供应中断的建议,IEA在1974年在巴黎成立。这个组织在最近几年里曾试图扩大,包括发展中国家,与包括中国、巴西、印度、印尼、南非和泰国在内国家建立合作伙伴关系。
根据IEA统计,墨西哥是经济合作和发展组织中的第三大石油生产国。

Mexico Submits Request To Join IEA

Monday, November 16, 2015
LONDON- Mexico submitted on Monday a request to join the International Energy Agency as the energy policy adviser to industrialised countries seeks to expand its member base.
Mexican Secretary of Energy Pedro Joaquín Coldwell presented IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol with a letter requesting to join the organisation that currently includes 29 member countries, the IEA said in a statement.
"This presents an excellent opportunity for the IEA to strengthen its ties with Mexico, and opens the door to greater engagement across Latin America." Birol said.
The Paris-based IEA was founded in 1974 in the wake of the 1973 oil shock in order to advise western economies on how to deal with supply disruption. The organisation has in recent years tried to expand and include developing economies, creating partnerships with countries including China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa and Thailand.
Mexico is the third-largest oil producer of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, according to the IEA.
