Youth, greatest asset of Iran

Iranian independent presidential candidate Mohsen Rezaei says Iran’s youths are the most important asset of the country and that he will seek their help in resolving the country’s problems if elected.

Rezaei, who is currently the secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council, made the remarks in his first election documentary aired on Iran’s national TV on Monday.

He said that making use of the potentials of the new generations and preparing them to administer the country is high on his agenda.
