Speaking to NIPNA, Hamid Reza Salehi stated that
paying attention to downstream petrochemical industries is a must for
production of end-user items in the year that is named by Supreme Leader of the
Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as the year of
"Supporting Iranian Goods".
"We must strive to produce more value-added
products in the petrochemical industry," he said, adding downstream industries
can complete the value-chain in the petrochemical sector and create regenerative
employment and boost exports of goods.
