Ali Akbar Mehrabian (Persian: علیاكبر محرابيان, born 1970) is an Iranian politician who was minister of industries and mines from 2 November 2007 to 3 August 2011 and Master's degree in economic science from Tehran University. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad proposed he retain this post in the 2009 cabinet. In 2011, it was announced that ministry of industries and mines would be merged with ministry of commerce and Mehrabian would leave the cabinet afterward.[2][3][4]
Early life and education
Mehrabian was born 1970 in Isfahan, Iran. His family is from Isfahan. Mehrabi studied at Shiraz University and Tehran university. .[5][6][7][8]
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]
