Talking to SHANA, Seyyed Mousa Mousavi added the ministry has rendered invaluable services in the energy sector during the period.

The country’s oil output has soared, said the lawmaker, adding a great number of projects have been inaugurated or their executive operations have begun since the 13th administration’s Oil Ministry started work two years ago.

Mousavi, who is a member of the Iranian Parliament’s Energy Committee, pointed to Oil Minister Javad Owji’s visits to foreign countries and added energy and economic diplomacy has been well promoted under the 13th administration, expressing hope that it would upgrade Iran’s economic position in the world.
