TEHRAN -- The head of international affairs of the National Petrochemical Company (NPC) Hussein Alimorad has said the capacities of international organizations such as ECO and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization could be tapped for the development of Iran’s petrochemical exports.
Alimorad underlined the growth of non-oil exports and the identification of new markets for petrochemical products in our country with the cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, touching on the two-day visit of the executives and experts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Asalouyeh region, southern Iran: “The visit of the executives and experts of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Asalouyeh region made the country’s diplomacy familiar with the activities and achievements of the oil industry, especially the petrochemical industry as a value-creating sector.”
Referring to the need to remove obstacles for the export of petrochemical products, he said: “Iran’s petrochemical industry is on the path of balanced development, and for this purpose, there are favorable capacities for the growth of exports, and the cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be very effective in facilitating exports.”
NPC’s head of international affairs added: “Face-to-face negotiations with the CEOs of petrochemical companies by the foreign policy custodians of the country, along with the managers of NPC as a supporter of the country’s petrochemical industry, was a good opportunity to remove some bottlenecks in production or export and find out ways to overcome them.”
