According to the ministry's Shana news agency, Paknejad said that the sector would demonstrate whether Western countries remain committed to the spirit of a final peace agreement should one be reached. Paknejad said Iran's oil industry could offer significant investment opportunities to the global economy in a post-agreement environment.
