Emphasizing that Iran is developing its capacities in the
petrochemical industry and will materialize the third leap in the industry,
Abdolkarim Jomeiri told Shana: "Iran's petrochemical industry is currently
on the path to development and has of course been influential in the global
arena. Industry developments in Iran's oil and petrochemicals after the victory
of the Islamic Revolution are not comparable to before, and Iran has had a
significant leap in this industry.”
He pointed to the operation of important petrochemical projects in
recent years, and added: "In the past few years, including the current
year, several petrochemical projects were put into operation in the country,
and this was done while sanctions had overshadowed the country."
The member of the Energy Committee of the Islamic Consultative
Assembly stated: “The country is moving towards its goals in oil and
petrochemical production and it will reach its goal of increasing the
production of items, as the most valuable industry in the country is now
considered the petrochemical industry. These cases show that although sanctions
impose costs on the country, the development train, especially the development
of the petrochemical industry, does not stop.”
"The leaps in the petrochemical industry must continue, because
it plays an important role in economic development as a value-added industry in
the oil and gas production chain," Jomeiri said.
