Jalil Rahimi Jahanabadi said that the petrochemical industry
plays an important role in the development of the country, adding investment in
petrochemical projects promise a bright future for the sector.
Development of the industry, besides creating jobs and
preventing sale of raw materials, provides feedstock for downstream industries
which consequently strengthens national production and economic development in
the country.
He said that the industry has achieved major success in
various sectors and in strengthening the infrastructure, adding:
"Petrochemicals have increased the value of national capital by creating a
value chain, so investing in petrochemical projects provide a clear vision of
the industry."
The member of the National Security and Foreign Policy
Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly stated: “The development of the
petrochemical industry and the completion of the value chain are among the
priorities of the development plans of this industry and in this direction the
private sector can play a more important role.”
"The growing trend of petrochemicals shows that this
industry can play a key role in the development of non-oil exports," he
said. “The path of progress and development of the petrochemical industry will
never stop, even with the sanctions.”
