صراط عشق صراط عشق
Imam Khamenei met with a large group of Iranian entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and members of knowledge-based companies in the Imam Khomeini Hussainiyah, January 30, 2023. During this meeting, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, stressed on the “rapid, continuous economic growth” as the current necessity for the country.
During the meeting, Imam Khamenei announced that the bright future of the country is in need of rapid and continuous economic growth. The Leader explained the reasons and requirements for economic growth while referring to the Seventh Development Plan which prioritizes economic growth along with justice. He emphasized, “economic growth is absolutely crucial in order to solve the tangible problems associated with people’s livelihood and the difficulties experienced in households.”
Imam Khamenei expressed his satisfaction with the spirit, optimism and tangible endeavors of those who are active in the fields of manufacturing and entrepreneurship. “As I have said many times before, due to the country’s God-given resources, its geographical, international, political position, and especially its human resources, the country’s talent and growth capacity are very high and exceptional in certain fields. For this reason, the future of the nation and the prospects of Iran’s progress are much brighter than the current predictions,” the Leader added.
Referring to this year’s slogan titled, “Production: Knowledge-Based and Job-Creating”, the Leader stated, “the exhibition that I visited two days ago, showed that relatively good endeavors have been made in line with this year’s slogan. The official indicators of the first half of 1401 [2022 AD] mainly indicate movement and growth.”
Imam Khamenei also addressed government officials present at the assembly while referring to points raised by some participants at the beginning of the meeting. “In order to follow up on these issues and resolve the complaints and expectations of those active in the economic field, form a committee under their supervision and solve their problems by continuously following up their case. By doing this, the country’s economy will also grow,” he stated.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution pointed out the direct relationship between economic growth and Iran’s position in the world. He further stated, “The advancement of a country’s position is largely related to its economic situation. When a country’s currency depreciates, its economic possibilities diminish. It becomes less credible in today’s world. We need to experience economic growth in order to maintain the country’s position in the world.”
In another part of his speech, Imam Khamenei emphasized the need for rapid, continuous growth in the country. He also outlined the reasons why Iran fell behind in certain economic fields in the last decade. Certain managerial weaknesses, issues such as sanctions and the country’s focus on the nuclear issue, and as a result, the conditioning of the economy, were among some of the important reasons for Iran’s economic lag in the previous decade.
