Saeid Tavakoli’s congratulatory message reads as follows:

“The arrival of Nowruz coincides with the beginning of transformation and renewal in the beautiful manifestations of nature. This delightful spring arrives as the spring of the Quran purifies body and soul from all impurities and obstacles between us and the Beloved. With the whisper of ‘Change our condition to the best of conditions,’ we pray to the Almighty to grant our souls freshness and vitality, just as He does to nature.

Last year’s cold months were among the harshest and most unprecedented in terms of the duration, intensity, and extent of the cold across the country. Despite the imbalance and deep energy disparity, sensitive regional conditions, and existing obstacles and limitations, by the grace of God and relying on the efforts and hard work of all of you—especially the honorable yet unsung operational forces—and by adhering to our values, we not only overcame all challenges but also proudly achieved new records and valuable accomplishments.

On the occasion of the New Year, I extend my congratulations and best wishes for the acceptance of your prayers and worship. I also take this opportunity to thank and appreciate the efforts of each and every member of the ‘great and dignified family of the National Iranian Gas Company.’ I hope that in the new year, through comprehensive and purposeful planning, as well as the continuation of small yet impactful actions, we will build better habits and achieve success and victory in all aspects of life.”
