Addressing the gathering on Saturday, Morteza Shahmirzaei, Iran's
Deputy Petroleum Minister and NPC's CEO, stressed the importance of utilizing
all available resources to drive the development and investment in the
petrochemical sector.
Shahmirzaei, while paying homage to the late President's unwavering
dedication to Islam, the Islamic Revolution, and the nation, acknowledged the
immense responsibility of following the path laid down by Raisi.
"We have a tremendous obligation to emulate his exemplary moral
and Islamic conduct in our efforts to serve our country," Shahmirzaei
said, affirming that Raisi's legacy of relentless dedication will live on.
Raisi, along with Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and
several other high-ranking officials, tragically lost their lives in the Bell
212 helicopter crash near the village of Uzi in East Azerbaijan, Iran, which
highlighted the challenges faced by Iran in modernizing its military fleet due
to international sanctions.
As Iran mourns the loss of Raisi and his companions, it remains
steadfast in its mission to grow the petrochemical sector and contribute to the
overall development of the nation's economy.
"The message and aspirations of the deceased President will never
fade away," Shahmirzaei emphasized, as Iran honors its fallen heroes by
maintaining their dreams of national prosperity.
