In an interview with NIPNA, Farshid Shokrkhodaei, while
reviewing the development trend of the petrochemical industry, praised the
current progress in the industry, and said that it is a matter of pride that
such progress has occurred under the sanctions against the country.
Shokrkhodai said: “The presence of the petrochemical
industry is very necessary to complete the value chain of the country's oil
industry as we may have trouble exporting oil or even gas. So it is better to
give this industry a certain dynamism.”
He continued: "The petrochemical industry also has a
good strength, and that is physical development. Of course, in the
petrochemical industry, construction is not the only issue. The issue of easy
access, exports, technical savvy and project economics is considered important,
too.”
The official said that the petrochemical industry ensures job
creation and sustainable development in the country, adding the development of
this industry will lead to cost-effective employment and development, as well
as to a resilient economy.
