Speaking to NIPNA, Abdul Karim Hosseinzadeh, a member of the Civil
Affairs Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly (parliament), referred
to the need to attract foreign capital, especially in the oil and petrochemical
industries, saying that Iran, as a safe island among the countries of the
region, has a large capacity to raise funds.
He said the country, by strengthening its energy diplomacy, should
facilitate the arrival of new capital into the petrochemical industry as a
dynamic industry.
The MP pointed to the role of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action
(JCPOA) in enhanced production and export of petrochemical products in Iran,
adding: "Undoubtedly, JCPOA has played an unmistakable role in the success
of this year's oil diplomacy, although barriers have been created by some
countries in this regard."
Hosseinzadeh said: "Given the re-entry of Iran into the
international community, these opportunities should be fully utilized to
further the country's progress and promote its economic wellbeing."
This member of the Civil Affairs Committee of the parliament further added
that all the required infrastructure for development of the petrochemical
industry is provided in Iran, and "we hope that the desirable trend of increased
production and export of petrochemicals continue to secure fresh investments in
the country.
