Seyyed Solat
Mortazavi said today (Thursday, May 18) during a visit to the 27th Iran International
Exhibition of Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals: "Holding this exhibition with
such quality is a cause of happiness and I appreciate all the people involved
in the oil, gas and petrochemical industry as well as the participating
companies."
He named heavy
industries such as the oil industry as the lever of job creation, and said:
"The oil industry is a mother industry that plays a very important role in
welfare and job creation in the country."
The Minister of
Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare also called the petrochemical industry a
high-employment generator, and said: "The petrochemical industry helps
Iran to escape from crude oil sales and by completing the value chain of the
petrochemical industry, a high value added is created that at that time it is
us who sanction others."
Mortazavi also
signed eight contracts and memoranda of understanding between various
subsidiaries of TAPPICO and various contractors in the academic, research and
knowledge-based fields, and said: "In line with this goal, today in the
field of production growth, eight contracts and memoranda of understanding were
signed between various subsidiaries of TAPPICO and various contractors in the
academic, research and knowledge-based fields."
The Minister of
Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare continued: "In total, the
agreements that were signed today will result in a foreign investment of €1
billion, which also has a rial investment, and we hope that it will reach
production as soon as possible. We are thinking about production growth so that
we can achieve the order of the Supreme Leader in this collection as soon as
possible."
Mortazavi said
that his colleagues at the National Pension Fund also had very desirable
development projects in the Jam Petrochemical Complex, and said: "The Jam
Petrochemical Project is also expected to reach production within a year. We
also have the implementation of the Bakhtiari Petrorefinery project next to
Masjed Soleyman Petrochemical Company on our agenda."
He stressed:
"I hope that the efforts of the soldiers of the Ministry of Cooperatives,
Labor and Social Welfare, as well as other domestic companies, will lead to
cutting off dependencies and increasing production, which will certainly curb
inflation by increasing productivity in the thirteenth government."
