TEHRAN- Iran's First Vice President has underscored the nation's clear path toward development, emphasizing the pivotal role of its young, skilled, and innovative workforce as the country's primary asset.

Mohammad Mokhber highlighted that the slogan of the year revolves around nurturing the younger generation and fostering entrepreneurship.

Back on March 20, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, on the occasion of Nowruz, issued a message, saying, “ If we plan to increase our production rapidly, we need to get the people actively involved in the economy. We must pave the way for the people to get involved in production in a tangible manner and remove the obstacles that stand in the way to their participation. There are great capacities in the public sector, which I will explain, God willing. These capacities must become active. They should be used for the benefit of the country and the people. It is for this reason that the slogan that I have chosen for this year is, Surge in production through people’s participation. This is the slogan for this year. I hope, God willing, this slogan will be actualized in the best possible way. It is necessary for those who are making the plans for the country to create plans, for experts to collaborate by providing their thoughts, and for those who are active in the economic sector to, God willing, actively participate in this endeavor.”

Mokhber commended the proactive initiatives undertaken by the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee, particularly in their dedication to supporting students and the youth. 

He emphasized that while Iran boasts abundant natural resources, its greatest asset lies in its educated and dynamic youth, whose contributions drive the nation's progress.

Addressing the global economic landscape, Mokhber noted a significant shift towards the digital economy, observing that many of today's prominent entrepreneurs and capitalists hail from the younger demographic.

Underlining the Raisi administration's steadfast support for the Relief Committee, Mokhber affirmed the government's commitment to alleviating poverty.

Established in March 1979, the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee serves as a cornerstone of Iran's charitable efforts, striving to uplift impoverished families and restore financial stability. Over the years, the committee has provided vital assistance to millions of individuals and families in need, offering various forms of support ranging from social security coverage for vulnerable populations to educational assistance for students from low-income backgrounds.
