The event, scheduled from September 17 to 20, 2023, aims to bolster
the country's position in the global petrochemical market while emphasizing the
significance of private sector involvement in driving economic growth.
The Deputy Minister of Petroleum and CEO of the National Petrochemical
Company, Morteza Shahmirzayi, expressed his optimism regarding the active
participation of both government and private entities in the exhibition, citing
it as an encouraging example of economic prospects in the petrochemical sector.
Shahmirzayi extended a warm invitation to all stakeholders and
industry players to engage actively in the 17th International IranPlast
Exhibition.
He underscored the pivotal role played by the National Petrochemical
Company in formulating policies and steering the course of balanced development
and value chain completion in downstream petrochemical industries. With the
strengthening of both the private sector and petrochemical industry holdings,
he anticipated witnessing a successful collaboration between the government and
private sector in hosting the most specialized international petrochemical
exhibition.
Highlighting one of the key advantages of Iran's recent petrochemical
industry expansion, Shahmirzayi emphasized the promotion and reinforcement of
the private sector, ultimately aiming to increase the efficiency of the public
sector.
The Deputy Minister for Petrochemical Affairs noted that timely
execution of petrochemical projects in line with established plans is a result
of the effective and positive collaboration between the private and public
sectors. This synergy has accelerated the completion of petrochemical projects
and led to a substantial increase in production capacity for the industry in
the years ahead.
Shahmirzayi stated that the surge in petrochemical production not only
results in higher exports but also generates substantial direct revenue for the
country. He asserted that the petrochemical industry plays a unique role in
earning foreign exchange, particularly during challenging times of sanctions,
which is unmatched by any other sector.
The 17th International IranPlast Exhibition aims to develop and
enhance the value chain, support domestic production, and boost local
manufacturing. Set to take place at the permanent International Exhibition
Center in Tehran, the event promises to be a crucial platform for fostering
business connections and presenting cutting-edge technologies in the
petrochemical sector.
The exhibition is poised to attract industry leaders, experts, and
investors from around the world, providing them with opportunities to explore
Iran's promising petrochemical landscape. As Iran's petrochemical industry
continues to grow and expand its global reach, IranPlast serves as a beacon of
hope for the country's economic prosperity and development in the years to
come.
