President Masoud Pezeshkian, along with senior cabinet members, inaugurated key infrastructure, energy, and housing projects during a two-day visit to Iran’s North Khorasan Province, with the aim of advancing regional development.
A sum of 14 power projects were unveiled to strengthen the province’s electricity infrastructure. These plans focus on modernizing power grids and expanding access to electricity in both urban and rural areas, providing reliable energy to support industries and communities, according to IRNA.
Minister of Roads and Urban Development Farzaneh Sadeq-Malvajerd opened 42 road and transportation projects, including highway development, rural road upgrades, and infrastructure improvements to ensure safer and more efficient transit.
The projects align with national efforts to modernize Iran’s transportation network and bolster regional trade.
In the housing sector, 2,000 residential units were completed as part of Iran’s National Housing Movement, addressing local housing shortages and improving living standards, ISNA reported.
The said projects highlight the government’s commitment to affordable housing across provinces.
Pezeshkian also emphasized the importance of regional development during his visit, which included meetings with local officials to discuss strategies for economic growth and enhanced public services.
The trip concluded Thursday evening with a session of the Provincial Planning and Development Council, where long-term development plans were reviewed.
