In a message marking Iran’s Journalists’ Day, Shakeri said the
industry had sustained multiple losses in recent months but that the dedication
of its skilled workforce had enabled major steps toward reconstruction and the
revival of production.
“The industry has taken major steps on the path from reconstruction to
the restoration of production, and telling this story is the responsibility of
media professionals,” Shakeri said in the message.
Iran’s petrochemical sector is a major driver of the country’s economy
and industrial development, making accurate and responsible reporting
increasingly important in communicating its achievements and future prospects,
he said.
Shakeri emphasized the role of the media in promoting awareness,
transparency and responsible information-sharing, saying these were essential
to building public trust, strengthening cooperation and accelerating
sustainable development.
He also paid tribute to journalists who lost their lives in the line
of duty and extended his greetings to journalists, media professionals and
others involved in reporting on the petrochemical industry.
The comments come as Iran’s petrochemical sector works to restore
production capacity and maintain operations following damage sustained during
the recent conflict, highlighting the importance of both industrial recovery
and clear communication about the sector’s performance.
