TEHRAN, Oct. 26 (Shana) – Governor General of the western province of Ilam Mohammad-Reza Morvarid said an Austrian company is considering investment in two oil and petrochemical projects in the province.

Following a meeting with a visiting delegation of Austrian financers, he said the firm is interested to invest 6 billion dollars in Dehloran petrochemical plant and Dehloran NGL oil refinery.

He did not introduce the foreign company but said due measures will be taken to sign the projects’ contracts in one month.

Last summer, the Iranian province and the Russian company signed an MoU to develop bilateral relations.
