Hassan Abbaszadeh, who also serves as Deputy Petroleum Minister,
emphasized the strategic importance of domestic capacity in meeting the
sector’s evolving technological and operational demands. “Maximizing the
capabilities of Iranian manufacturers for technology transfer, localization,
and development of cutting-edge solutions is vital for achieving our planned
objectives,” he told NIPNA.
Abbaszadeh stressed that expanding the petrochemical value chain is a
core national strategy. “We must move toward self-sufficiency in meeting
industry needs by leveraging the existing domestic infrastructure,” he said.
He also highlighted the critical role of petrochemical holding
companies in driving sectoral development and called on all investors and
stakeholders to take an active and committed role in advancing the industry's
growth agenda.
“Capable Iranian producers and manufacturers are urged to elevate
their output—both in volume and quality—while focusing on innovation and the
application of global knowledge,” Abbaszadeh added.
According to the NPC chief, Iran’s internal capabilities, coupled with
access to modern technologies, provide a solid foundation for overcoming
development hurdles. “Iranian companies can supply many of the key goods and
equipment required by petrochemical complexes, thanks to the robust
infrastructure already in place,” he said.
