MAPNA Group is an industrial, engineering and technology enterprise active exclusively in the fields of thermal and renewable power plants, desalination plants, rail transportation, and the oil and gas industry.
MAPNA has no organizational, operational or managerial affiliation with any military, political, or non-industrial entity and does not operate under the direction of any such entity. Its activities are conducted solely within the scope of its professional, commercial, technical, and engineering mandate.
Over three decades of operation, MAPNA Group has become one of the largest providers of technical and engineering services in Iran and the region by leveraging its specialized capabilities, technical knowledge, engineering excellence, and extensive project execution experience. MAPNA Group’s presence in the international markets including Iraq, has been carried out in full compliance with the laws and regulations of the host country, contractual requirements, official tendering and competitive bidding procedures, and recognized commercial and professional standards.
Iraq is one of MAPNA Group’s principal international markets for technical and engineering services in the energy and power plant sectors. The group’s activities in Iraq, including the execution of power plant projects, have been carried out in accordance with official contracts, legal procedures, commercial competition, and the submission of technical and financial proposals. Among these projects is the Rumaila Combined Cycle Power Plant in Basra province. This project was implemented under transparent contractual frameworks and pursuant to official mutual agreements between the parties. The contract value was determined in accordance with the scope of services, technical obligations, implementation requirements, financial considerations and contractual agreements between the employer and the contractor.
MAPNA Group stresses that all its engagements, contracts, and collaborations with the Iraqi entities and other international partners have been conducted in accordance with professional principles, legal requirements, contractual obligations, and internationally accepted procedures. Accordingly, any attempt to associate these activities with political or military matters, or with allegations unrelated to MAPNA Group’s industrial and commercial operations, is entirely false and without merit.
The allegation in Al Arabiya’s report that MAPNA Group is affiliated with a military organization is categorically rejected. This allegation is not only entirely unsupported by any credible evidence or factual basis, but is also inconsistent with the legal structure, organizational mission, professional record and the nature of MAPNA Group’s activities. Publishing such allegations without seeking comment from the party concerned and without presenting valid evidence constitutes a clear violation of the fundamental principles of professional journalism, impartiality, and responsible reporting. In addition, MAPNA Group strongly any relationship, cooperation, or involvement with political or military entities or organizations in Iraq or any other country. MAPNA reiterates that its operations are exclusively confined to specialized, industrial, engineering, and commercial activities. Transparency, professionalism, compliance with contractual obligations, and avoiding involvement in activities unrelated to its mandate are among the fundamental principles governing MAPNA Group operations.
Accordingly, MAPNA Group considers the publication of the aforementioned report to be unprofessional, false and contrary to the principles of ethical journalism. Thus, MAPNA Group urges Al Arabiya to rectify this unprofessional conduct by removing the report from all its publishing platforms or to publish this statement in full, without alteration, and with the same level of access as the original report.
