All indicators point to Iran’s movement toward economic growth: Raeisi
Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi has lauded the country’s remarkable achievements in industrial fields, saying all indicators point to Iran’s movement toward economic growth and progress.
Raeisi made the remarks at the 27th Grand Conference on the National Day of Industry and Mining in the capital Tehran on Saturday in the presence of craftsmen, miners, syndicates, traders and merchants.
“In the year 1401, we had considerable growth in the field of production,” Raeisi said. “The industrialists have made good efforts, and the growth of investment, produced machinery, output, employment and finally the economic growth in the country in the second six months of 1400 and the end of last year as well as the current year show that the country has started a good move towards economic and production growth.”
Stressing that the aforementioned growth is technology-based and knowledge-based, the Iranian president added, “Today, the craftsmen have come to this conclusion that growth should be followed by the growth in science and technology.”
Raeisi said, “We believe that university, industry and mining should conjoin and this can add value to the work. This extensive nexus is necessary and will lead to an upturn in production and economic growth.”
Stressing that production is the country’s strong point and should not be undermined, the Iranian chief executive said, “Just as missiles are a strong point and a source of power, production is also a strength and a source of power.”
Raeisi affirmed that knowledge-based production creates strength in the country, adding, “Heads of countries, the world’s authorities and decision-making centers view the power of the Islamic Republic as a country that has made the production grow from within.”
The Iranian president also argued that evolution in industries is an inevitable necessity, noting that the country’s strengths must be consolidated and its weaknesses diminished.
“This is the very evolution from the Leader’s perspective that will be achieved by the capable hands of our producers, artisans and merchants.”
