Message of Hope, Peace and Security
President Hassan Rouhani's re-election calling for the persistence of his first four-year successful mandate in foreign policy and his administration's plan to attract foreign partners and investors in the sector of industry and economy constitute a unique opportunity for Iran's oil, gas, petrochemical and refining industries.
In the tense Middle East region, which is home to major oil and gas reserves, Iran remains the most secure and most stable country and a good option for economic cooperation, industrial investment and interactions based on common interests.
The international majors' willingness to invest in Iran's oil, gas and petrochemical projects was an indication of mutual understanding between Iranian industrial policymakers and the owners of technology and capital in the world.
What is currently of high significance and could help both sides realize their wishes, is commitment to agreements and abiding by their obligations.
By devising intelligent energy diplomacy and following up on plans, providing legal grounds for the effective presence of potential partners and investors in parallel with introducing projects worth tens of billions of dollars, the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum has fulfilled its task in the best possible manner and played its part as the largest holder of hydrocarbon reserves in the world.
International bodies have confirmed Iran's compliance with its nuclear deal with six world powers and proved that it is a sincere and reliable partner.
Now, foreign companies are required to show their good will and carry out their tasks with regard to secure energy supply in the world.
Numerous companies have taken steps towards more extensive cooperation with Iran's petroleum industry. Some of them have been from France, South Korea, Germany, Russia and Italy.
Tehran will continue to host managers of international companies involved in oil, gas and petrochemical sector. That would sketch a new atmosphere in international cooperation in the region.
Such cooperation will be based on mutual economic interests, mutual trust and respect, and future energy needs. Its message will be that of hope, peace and security.
