During his presence at the university on Wednesday evening, Shahmirzai
extended congratulations on Student Day and delved into the achievements and
advancements witnessed in the petrochemical industry after the Islamic
Revolution, praising the students for their integral role in this progress.
"The primary strategy and objective of the National Petrochemical
Company in the thirteenth government involve complete localization of catalysts
by the end of this tenure, aiming to fulfill domestic needs and expeditiously
completing the value chain," stated Shahmirzai.
Touching upon the pre-revolution era's oil industry management
conditions and its complete reliance on foreign sources, Shahmirzai highlighted
the industry's previous colonial influences and the heavy legal ramifications
for students.
"Today, thanks to divine support and the Islamic Revolution, this
industry is managed relying on internal capacities. The future of the oil
industry lies in the hands of you, the talented youth of this land, making you
the primary owners of this industry," Shahmirzai affirmed, addressing the
students.
Shahmirzai further engaged in an intimate exchange with students,
actively answering their queries and concerns during the gathering,
demonstrating his commitment to addressing and acknowledging their aspirations
and questions.
The event marked a significant acknowledgement of the critical role of
students in the evolution of Iran's petrochemical landscape, signaling a
collaborative pathway towards a domestically empowered industry.
