Manouchehr Habibi, the governor of Kermanshah, reviewed the status of the province's petrochemical projects during his recent trip to Tehran. In these meetings, topics such as securing financial resources, completing unfinished projects, and creating jobs for those accepted in the Kermanshah Petrochemical recruitment exam were discussed.
Development of Border Infrastructure and Sanandaj Petrochemicals
In a conversation with Dr. Akbari, the head of the Road Maintenance and Transportation Organization of the country, Habibi emphasized the need for developing border infrastructure. The comprehensive plan for developing the Sheikh Saleh borders in the Thalas Babajani County and Shushmi in the Paveh County was one of the main topics of this meeting. Kermanshah, with six borders and official markets, accounts for about 40% of Iran's exports to Iraq, and therefore, the development of these capacities depends on suitable road and border infrastructure.

Habibi also referred to the provision of machinery and asphalt needed to improve the condition of rural roads and rectify accident-prone areas. In this regard, the provision of necessary machinery from the free zone capacities and the import of equipment with the financing of the Road Maintenance Organization was agreed upon.
Progress of the Second Phase of Kermanshah Petrochemical
In the industrial sector, completing Sanandaj Petrochemical and Kermanshah Petrochemical was on the agenda of the governor's negotiations. The Sanandaj Petrochemical project, being implemented in the Sanandaj and Kalleh Industrial Park by Negin Sanandaj Chemical Industries Company, is facing a physical progress of about 65%. To continue work, securing financial resources for the contractor and paying claims is essential. The CEO of the Persian Gulf Petrochemical Holding promised to assist in the commissioning of this project within a year.
Regarding Kermanshah Petrochemical, Habibi emphasized the necessity of accelerating the implementation of the second phase of this project during a meeting with Jafar Hashemi, the CEO of Parsian Oil and Gas Holding. This phase, with a physical progress of 88%, will double the production capacity of this complex and lead to a daily production of 2000 tons of urea. Additionally, this project will create 300 direct job opportunities and 2000 indirect job opportunities.
The governor of Kermanshah also stressed the need to improve the living conditions of the Ministry of Interior employees and raised the necessity of reforming the salaries and benefits of the staff in the governorates and districts. These requests were discussed in various meetings with national officials.
In conversations with the media, Habibi also announced the pursuit of completing the second phase of Kermanshah Petrochemical and set a target for its commissioning in the first half of next year. Increasing production capacity, creating job opportunities, and utilizing local forces were cited as the most important expected outcomes of this project.
