National Iranian Oil Corp. will relocate its head of fuel-oil trading to Beijing from Tehran to oversee oil supply to China.

Maziar Hojjati, the fuel-oil marketing manager at the state producer’s headquarters in the Iranian capital, will be the head of NIOC’s Beijing office, Hojjati said by phone today.

Hojjati said he expects to start working in Beijing next month. He will replace the current China head who is completing a two-year assignment, he said.
