TEHRAN – President Ayatollah Ebrahim Raisi will pay a two-day visit to South Khorasan province, a senior local official said. 

Javad Ghena’at, the governor-general of the province, said Tuesday that President Raisi will be accompanied by a number of high-level government officials on his visit to South Khorasan province, according to state news agency IRNA. 

South Khorasan is the first destination of the second round of the provincial trips of the president and the administration, which deserves praise, the governor-general said. 

He pointed out the advantages of choosing South Khorasan as the first destination of the second round of provincial trips. “One of the advantages is that the decisions and credits are notified and allocated sooner, on the other hand, the credits are mostly cash and the allocation percentage is high,” he said. 

He called the follow-up of the decisions of the first visit of the president and the government delegation to South Khorasan as one of the objectives of the second visit. 

“In this trip and during a special meeting, the decisions of the first trip will be reviewed and analyzed. [It will be discussed] which decisions have been concluded and which have not yet been implemented, so good decisions will be made to remove the upcoming obstacles to the implementation of the decisions,” he added. 

The local official noted, “In the second round of the president's trips to the provinces, special attention is paid to the deprived and underprivileged provinces, and the trip to the deprived provinces, including South Khorasan, has been prioritized in the personal plans of the president and the government delegation.”

He said, “In the second round of provincial trips, the issue of directing national investors to deprived provinces, including South Khorasan, is on the agenda.”
