In this meeting, the representative of Wali Faqih and Imam Juma of Bushehr considered energy production as the driving force of economic production, and said: “The ruling world seeks to keep the Islamic Iran as its dependent in the field of nuclear and fossil energy supply, but with the help of you oil industry experts we will become knowledge-based and independent in these industries.”
