Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro took a tour of MAPNA Group subsidiary companies, hailing the “impressive” achievements, technologies, and productions of the group.
Leading a delegation of nine Venezuelan ministers, Maduro visited MAPNA Group on Sunday, June 12, during his two-day trip to Iran.
Iranian Energy Minister Ali-Akbar Mehrabian and MAPNA CEO Abbas Aliabadi along with other high-ranking managers of the group accompanied the Venezuelan delegation during the visit.
At the outset of the visit, Aliabadi briefed the guests on the structure of MAPNA Group and its projects outside the country, pointing to the major plans of the group with regard to power production and constructing power plants in different countries.
Touching upon the third rank of MAPNA Group among world leaders of gas turbine producers according to a ranking provided by McCoy Power Reports, Aliabadi said that MAPNA Group enjoys numerous potentials for the production of key equipment that are needed in infrastructural and strategic industries.
