Raeisi: Iran moving toward economic growth
Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi said that statistical figures show that the country is moving towards economic growth in production thanks to the efforts by our industrialists.
President Raeisi made the remarks at the 27th Grand Conference on the National Day of Industry and Mining in Tehran on Saturday.
The Iranian president thanked the industrialists for their roles in the increase in production, saying that growth in investment, production of machineries and employment in the past 21 months indicate that Iran is moving towards economic growth.
Stressing that the aforementioned growth is technology-based and knowledge-based, the Iranian president added, “Today, industrialists have come to the conclusion that growth should be followed by growth in science and technology.” Raeisi said, “We believe that when universities, industry and mining conjoin, it 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, so too production is 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 one that has made 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.
