TEHRAN, May 17 (NIPNA) – Two of Iran’s largest petrochemical economic zones signed a cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening joint crisis management capabilities, emergency response coordination and operational resilience across the country’s strategic petrochemical sector.

The memorandum of understanding was signed during a visit by Sakhaavat Asadi, chief executive of the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone, to the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone.

The agreement was formalized by Asadi and Mohammadreza Moteiri, chief executive of the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone, in the presence of senior managers from both organizations.

Under the terms of the memorandum, the two sides agreed to expand cooperation in the areas of prevention, preparedness, response and reconstruction related to emergency and crisis situations. The agreement also calls for the joint use of operational, technical, human and logistical resources to enhance industrial readiness and crisis management capacity.

Key areas of cooperation include conducting joint emergency drills, sharing training and technical facilities, exchanging operational experience, developing passive defense technologies and designing rapid-response communication systems.

The agreement also provides for coordination in the deployment of emergency personnel and relief equipment during industrial incidents or crisis events.

As part of the visit, Asadi toured petrochemical facilities in the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone that had reportedly sustained damage during recent wartime events described by Iranian officials as attacks carried out by American-Zionist enemies.

Accompanied by Moteiri and other executives, Asadi reviewed the operational status of affected facilities as well as reconstruction measures aimed at maintaining production continuity.

The visit included an inspection of Shahid Tondgouyan Petrochemical Company, where officials reviewed production activities, operational conditions and development plans at the complex.

Asadi also visited educational and training facilities operated by the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone organization, where he was briefed on workforce development programs and specialized training initiatives in crisis management and health, safety and environment, or HSE.

Executives from both organizations emphasized the importance of reinforcing production infrastructure, training systems and human capital development as critical pillars for sustaining growth in Iran’s petrochemical industry.
