Hassan Abbaszadeh, Deputy Petroleum Minister and CEO of the National
Petrochemical Company (NPC), emphasized the importance of aligning efforts with
IMT during a joint meeting with Ebrahim Sheikh, Deputy Minister of General
Industries at IMT.
“Collaboration with the Ministry of Industry will play a pivotal role
in addressing production bottlenecks and facilitating downstream industries,”
Abbaszadeh said, according to NPC’s official news agency.
Highlighting the need to reduce crude exports, Abbaszadeh stressed
that completing the value chain and producing finished products must remain a
priority in upcoming joint initiatives. "With targeted oversight, we can
ensure downstream units receive adequate feedstock to meet real market
demands," he added.
Both sides agreed to hold monthly follow-up meetings to monitor
progress and resolve challenges. “There are no limits to how we can work
together to achieve national industrial goals,” Abbaszadeh said.
Sheikh echoed the sentiment, underlining the shared commitment to
fostering sustainable growth in the petrochemical sector.
