Reza Mohtashamipour, an official with NPC,
told a conference on plastic exports to Afghanistan and Iraq that more investments
are needed in the markets of these two countries by Iranian petrochemical industrialists.
"Iran can become a suppliers of
plastics industry machinery to Iraq and Afghanistan while providing after-sales
services to its customers," he said.
"Iraq and Afghanistan account for 2
thirds of Iran's export markets," he said, adding the two countries are
shaken by wars but circumstances will not stay the same forever in them.
Motashamipour further said that Iran provides
for 40% of urea needs of Iraq and supplies 10% of the country's plastics industry
machinery.
