industry, as one of the main industries of the country, is one of the most
important pillars of development and engine of various sectors of the economy in
Iran,” he further added, saying that NPC had prioritized completion of the production
value chain, diversifying the products and promotion of the value of the

“Today, the Iranian petrochemical industry, taking advantage of state-of-the-art
technologies in the world and by relying on its specialized and efficient
experts and staff, has taken the path of development. To become a major
petrochemical power at the regional and global levels, we must now work with
empathy and cooperation to deliver on the plans.”
