“I am convinced that by 2001 we will have
at least one petrochemical plant, under construction or already operating,” said today Peru's President Alan García, adding that “these plants will allow us to say that we have taken a step further to the development of our country.”
Garcia made these declarations during the public opening ceremony of natural gas supply service in San Juan de Lurigancho, Lima's largest district.
“Thanks to the petrochemical industry, gas can be converted into many products such as plastics, ammonium, among others, Garcia said.
