Seyed Esmail Hosseini said Iran’s petrochemical industry was
continuing its development despite sanctions and the recent war, with progress
visible across different parts of the sector.
“The development of the petrochemical industry is undeniable, despite
the war and sanctions, and progress can be seen in various areas,” Hosseini
told NIPNA, calling for continued support for the strategic industry.
He said efforts made in recent years had placed the industry on a
development path, adding that balanced growth across the petrochemical sector
could generate greater value added.
Hosseini said the industry had achieved significant results despite
sanctions, the war and other challenges, and that further development in both
upstream and downstream segments could contribute to job creation.
Iran’s skilled workforce would also help the industry implement its
planned development programs, he added.
“The downstream petrochemical industries have made a significant
contribution to the country’s economy in recent years,” Hosseini said,
stressing that further development and strengthening of the sector would
require appropriate planning and investment.
