Speaking at a Wednesday cabinet meeting about the development of the Makoran coastline, Pezeshkian acknowledged the valid concerns raised by several government members, reported president.ir.
He noted that while all the points raised were precise, the critical issue remains that, unfortunately, there has not yet been a comprehensive plan or roadmap for the development of Makoran.
Pezeshkian went on to say that different government bodies have taken action based on their respective responsibilities.
The president emphasized that over the past several months, there have been nearly weekly meetings focused on developing a maritime-based strategy and establishing a roadmap for the Makoran region.
“I have always believed that if we want to achieve a leading position in the region as outlined in the national vision document, the quality of development in these coastal areas must not fall short of the efforts made by neighboring countries.”
Pezeshkian added that the Makoran coastline is the most important platform for Iran’s sustainable and long-term development and, in a sense, the future of Iran depends on the development of this area.
The president stated that once the comprehensive plan is completed, based on thorough studies and evaluations of the region’s capacities and opportunities, the responsibilities of each body will be clearly defined, and coordinated actions will proceed in a unified and synergistic manner.
