Speaking on
the occasion of the Petrochemical Day, Behzad Mohammadi told NPC staff on Wednesday
that the industry was moving forward rapidly in the country thanks to the efforts
of its staff and industrialists.
He underlined
the Monday visit of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to a petrochemical showcase
and meeting with petrochemical industrialists and executives, adding the
meeting was the first of its kind in which the president spent nearly four
hours meeting and talking with petrochemical industrialists.
Mohammadi further
added that after privatization of the petrochemical industry, NPC was currently
at the helm of the industry in Iran and was performing its duty properly.
He further
said that by 2025, 16 new petrochemical items would be supplied domestically
with great value-added.
