Iranian Investors Invited to Ukraine

TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of Ukraine's L'viv Regional State Administration Mykhailo Tsymbaliuk called on Iranian investors to play a stronger and bigger role in his country's oil exploitation projects.
"Given Iran's progress in the exploitation of oil and other natural resources, we will be glad to have Iranian investors here," Tsymbaliuk said in a meeting with a visiting Iranian media delegation.

"We pledge to provide all the necessary conditions for such investment in L'viv," the official stated.

He further pointed to the rich oil, gas and coal reserves in his state, and noted that L'viv is trying to attract foreign investments to carry out its industrial and economic development.

Iran has been seeking to bolster ties with Eastern Europe, specially Ukraine, in all the different political, economic and cultural spheres in the last few years.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a meeting with Samaraski here in Tehran in November called for the development of all-out ties with Ukraine, stressing that Tehran sees no restriction or impediment to the expansion of its relations with Kiev.

In February, A group of representatives of the Ukrainian energy companies studied investment opportunities in Pars Special Energy Economic Zone in Assalouyeh in Southern Iran.

The group, consisting of 11 senior staffers of Ukrainian companies, toured the ongoing projects of the Pars energy zone in the Southern province of Bushehr, and held a meeting with the managers of the zone.

They were also briefed on the investment opportunities of the region.

The delegation examined ways to cooperate in the areas of design of oil and gas pipelines, oil exploitation from old wells, refinery equipment and automation of oil and gas industries.

In their one-day tour of Assalouyeh, they visited phases 4, 5, 15 and 16 of Pars Port Complex and a number of petrochemical complexes of the region.

The Iranian Oil Ministry has defined over 20 phases of development for the South Pars gas field.

The South Pars gas field has reserves of about 14 trillion cubic meters of gas - or about eight percent of the world's reserves.
