Membership in International News Clubs and Organizations
IRNA has spent tremendous efforts to convince news agencies of Third World countries to actively work within the framework of regional news agencies. The establishment of pools of news agencies, many of which have already gained international prestige, is thus indebted to the pioneering efforts of IRNA. Multinational and regional news pools therefore have the right to vote in international gatherings of news agencies and thus play the essential and critical role of safeguarding Third World interests in such venues. IRNA is currently a member of the following news pools:
- Association of Caspian Sea News Agencies (ACSNA)
- ECO News Agencies (ECONA)
- International Islamic News Agency (IINA)
- Non-Aligned News Agencies Pool (NANAP)
- Organization of Asia-Pacific News Agencies (OANA)
- OPEC News Agency (OPECNA)

I am busy with My dying.
Three heads lolling,
bobbing like bladders.”

“As night returns bringing doubts
That swarm around the sleeper’s head
But are fended off with clubs and knives ...”
