Mortaza Shahmirzai made these remarks on Monday (February 19) during
the first session of the Scientific-Industrial Policy-Making Council (CDIE),
stating, "Supporting domestic production and enhancing the activities of
downstream industries are important strategies for the National Petrochemical
Company in the thirteenth government."
He highlighted, "In addition to supplying raw materials and
feedstock required by downstream and complementary industries, which have shown
significant growth this year, the implementation of the strategy of offering
credit for petrochemical products has resulted in increased production,
creating security and stability in the market."
The CEO of the National Petrochemical Company stated, "Alignment
and interaction among active companies in the petrochemical downstream
industries can lead to market coherence and stability, and companies should not
seek intermediary profits."
Mortaza Shahmirzai, while emphasizing the need for innovation and
research in the field of the country's downstream industries, added,
"Fortunately, with the cooperation and efforts of companies and industries
in meeting their technological needs domestically, we are witnessing the
country's self-sufficiency in technical knowledge."
He added, "Attention should be paid to the balanced development
and completion of the value chain by complementary petrochemical industries to
meet the diverse production needs of various sectors of downstream
industries."
