Economic Growth Remedy for Livelihood Problems in Iran: Leader
Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed Imam Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei described economic growth in Iran as a requisite for the eradication of poverty and settlement of problems concerning the livelihood of people and welfare of families.
A group of Iranian entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and representatives of knowledge-based companies met with Ayatollah Khamenei in Tehran on Monday.
After hearing the comments made by a number of producers and entrepreneurs about their problems, the Leader called for the formation of a committee under the supervision of manufacturers to address the problems.
“I would like to say something briefly to the honorable officials who are here today, particularly the Vice President. Keep in mind the things that our friends have talked about here. These were not just reports of their activities and achievements. They were reports, (but) there were also complaints along with the reports. And I believe that almost all of the complaints they made here were true. Everything they mentioned in terms of the expectations they have from the government, from the officials, and from myself were correct. Form a committee for all the things that our friends talked about here. Supervisors must definitely be present and used in this committee. (You can benefit from) the gentlemen who spoke here today and others too. Take note of their opinions and follow them up,” Ayatollah Khamenei underlined.
He also said the bright future of the country is in need of rapid and continuous economic growth.
The Leader explained the reasons and requirements for economic growth while referring to the Seventh Development Plan, which prioritizes economic growth along with justice.
He emphasized, “Economic growth is absolutely crucial in order to solve the tangible problems associated with people’s livelihood and the difficulties experienced in households.”
Ayatollah Khamenei expressed his satisfaction with the spirit, optimism and tangible endeavors of those who are active in the fields of manufacturing and entrepreneurship. “As I have said many times before, due to the country’s God-given resources, its geographical, international, political position, and especially its human resources, the country’s talent and growth capacity are very high and exceptional in certain fields. For this reason, the future of the nation and the prospects of Iran’s progress are much brighter than the current predictions.”
