TEHRAN - President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized the necessity and importance of unity among all ethnicities and sects to address the challenges during a meeting with Sunni scholars.

According to IRNA, on Saturday, Sunni scholars met Massoud Pezeshkian at the Presidential Office and urged the 14th government to treat all ethnicities and sects equally.

In this meeting, Pezeshkian expressed gratitude for the responsible performance of Sunni scholars and stated, “without unity, the country's problems will remain unsolvable; we must all cooperate to find solutions. Differences at higher levels of the country’s administration and among ethnic groups hinder progress.”
