TEHRAN - First Vice President Es’haq Jahangiri said on Sunday that knowledge-based economy is the “linchpin” of the resistance economy.

Being “knowledge-based” and “justice-based” form the cornerstones of the resistance economy, he said during a ceremony held to open the 4th exhibition of laboratory materials in Tehran.

He added that “precise approaches” should be adopted to reach a knowledge-based economy.

“The knowledge-based economy means that our industry, agriculture and oil will be knowledge-based and the country will be managed based on knowledge and the universities will be the main infrastructure of this to happen,” he said.

He urged the government to help equip the universities.

Jahangiri also called “science” the basis of national development.
