The official issued
a decree on Sunday, October 29, appointing Shahdaei, also former-deputy
petroleum minister for petrochemical affairs, as his successor.
Based on the
decree, Reza Norouzzadeh is appointed as the new managing director of NPC.
Through the decree, Zangeneh called
on Norouzzadeh, a former member of the Iranian parliament and managing director
of the Social Security Investment Company, to be primarily focused on
attraction of foreign resources for funding petrochemical projects.
Attraction of
foreign finances for funding petrochemical projects, implementation of the
Economic Resilience instructions, realization of the second leap in the country's
petrochemical sector, promoting technologies in the industry, accessing foreign
markets for exporting petrochemical items, and boosting Iran's petrochemical
exports are some of the main areas Zangeneh expects Norouzzadeh to be focused
on in his new carrier.
