Pezeshkian: Gov’t poised to clear obstacles to national production, investment
Internal divisions ‘root cause’ of calamities among Muslims
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in a visit to the western province of Kordestan on Thursday that his government is ready to remove any hurdles on the path to promoting national production and investment.
“The government is ready to remove any obstacles in the way of production and investment. This commitment from the government is pursued with full force and is not just a slogan,” Pezeshkian said in a meeting with investors and economic stakeholders in Kordestan.
“Continuous meetings are held in Tehran and other provinces for coordination and removal of obstacles, and if a problem arises, the issue will be reviewed and resolved at the level of governors general and between provinces.”
Pointing to the importance of technology and systematic development, he said, “In today's world, competition is about productivity, and productivity cannot be achieved without the use of knowledge and new technologies. We must use technologies that are compatible with our infrastructure and long-term goals. These technologies should be tools for achieving justice and facilitating participation, not new obstacles.”
Stressing that the existing human and intellectual capital in the country is more valuable than any natural resource, Pezeshkian said, “Countries lacking underground resources have only been able to reach a superior position through thought and management. What guides an economist on the right path is not merely calculations, but understanding their place as part of a larger system.”
The president said the cooperation of the three branches of government at the national level is underway to remove obstacles to production and trade, adding, “Coordination with the Parliament and the Judiciary is being strengthened so that no law hinders economic prosperity.”
Pezeshkian also expressed hope that through synergy among the government, Parliament, and the people, a “proud, powerful, and advanced country will be built on the path of justice and progress.”
In a meeting with Kordestan’s religious scholars and clerics, Pezeshkian emphasized that only unity and Islamic brotherhood could confront the conspiracies of the United States, Israel, and global Zionism.
Stresing that division and discord among Muslims are the explicit desire of the enemies of Islam, the president said internal conflicts serve the interests of Israel, the United States, and their allies.
“Such divisions are exactly what Israel, America, and global Zionism want, so that the Islamic Ummah becomes preoccupied with disputes, and they can commit any aggression they desire. If unity and cohesion prevail among us, no power will dare to covet Islamic lands,” he said.
“Internal disagreements are the root of many calamities for the Islamic Ummah, and only by returning to faith, brotherhood, and holding fast to the rope of God can one escape this cycle.”
Pezeshkian also reaffirmed that Israel would never dare to bomb the oppressed people of Gaza if Muslims had not remained silent in the face of the occupying regime’s aggression.
