Ministerial activities

As minister, Mehrabian travelled the world promoting Iran's commercial interests in friendly countries such as Qatar,^[9] Belarus,^[10] Egypt ^[11] and Venezuela.^[12] He involved in the discussions of a potential World Oil Bank involving Russia and Venezuela,^[13] and agreed a cooperation protocol with the Democratic Republic of the Congo.^[14] He also promoted Iran's bilateral links and financial support for Cuba.^[15]

He expressed deep concern over the non-adherence of industrial states to their commitments to control the emission of greenhouse gases.^[16]

He implemented policies to encourage production of cars powered by compressed natural gas (CNG).^[17] Because Iran suffers from a lack of refining capacity, gasoline is rationed. Hundreds of thousands of gasoline-powered vehicles are also being converted to use a bi-fuel system allowing CNG as an alternative fuel.^[18] He encouraged developments under which cars with Iranian content would be built in Egypt^[11] and Syria.^[19]

Following deadly crashes of imported aircraft, he also hoped to develop domestic production of aircraft.^[20] He promoted production of steel, copper,^[21] and coal.^[22] He implemented policies pressurising companies alleged to have links with businesses who trade with Israel, such as Coca Cola, Nestle and Benetton^[23]
