Mohammad Javad Zarif who was participating in the opening session of the 12th Iran Petrochemical Forum (IPF) on Sunday, told the reporters that in times post-JCPOA petrochemical industry would see the grounds conducive for its development; “the art of foreign policy has been focused on preparing the grounds for development of domestic industries with the ultimate objective of achieving sustainable growth,” he added.
“As a pioneer industry, petrochemical industry will keep its increasing pace of growth for the future; with sanctions no longer effective, the industry will find new space and new freedoms to act upon, with production rise and finding new export destinations being as the major approaches after JCPOA,” Zarif told the reporters. “Sanctions had severely hit the sector; the importance of the sector was a major cause to our seeking immediate removal of sanctions in the sector; along with JPOA implementation beginning in 2013, restrictions had been removed gradually and today, the industry experiences good days to come with formal removal of sanctions on the place.”
