Pezeshkian vows to promote public, private sectors’ engagement in economy
During a meeting with a group of members of labor unions, Pezeshkian said, “Production is the backbone of the country’s economy, and be assured that without your participation, help, and cooperation, solving these problems is impossible,” IRNA reported.
“I promise to provide a suitable platform for the participation of the public and the private sectors in the economic and production realms,” he added.
He criticized the current livelihood situation of the Iranian people and stated, “The current situation in Iran is not worthy of the Iranian nation, and we must all do our best to improve this situation.”
Pezeshkian said the government’s duty is to create coordination and a suitable environment for public and private sector participation in solving economic and production issues, stressing, “I do not promise to solve all problems because such a task is beyond my capacity and even that of the government, but I promise to create and maintain a suitable environment and coordination for your participation and that of the private sector and producers to work together to address the infrastructural problems of production and the country’s economy.”
Emphasizing the need to move past factional disputes and power struggles, the president-elect said, “I am ready to give opportunities, resources, and authority to anyone who has the ability and capacity to solve problems, but I will make it a condition that if they fail, they must be accountable.”
“The government’s duty is not to enter the field of production but to create a suitable environment for industrial, productive, and commercial activities. However, the government is obliged to heed and address the situation of the less privileged and the poor; this is the government’s duty,” he said.
Pezeshkian emphasized that achieving these goals takes time and requires the assistance of all experts, academics, thinkers, and specialists from inside and outside the country, stating, “We will strive with all our might to lead the society in a direction that is worthy and dignified for the people and preserves their dignity and honor.”
