Tehran, YJC. Leader urges firm, clear stances by administration on world issues.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali
Khamenei has called on the President Hassan Rouhani’s administration to take
clear and firm stances on regional and international issues, Press TV reports.
"Taking a clear and resolute stance vis-à-vis such issues as
Palestine, the Zionist regime, Gaza, Syria, Iraq, Takfiris and the US acts of
interference is in the interest of the Islamic establishment and does not
contravene the language of diplomacy and negotiations,” Ayatollah Khamenei said
in an address to President Rouhani and his administration members on Wednesday.
"Adoption of frank and transparent stances on these issues
will safeguard the foundation of the Islamic establishment and the strategic
position of the establishment among nations,” the Leader added.
Ayatollah Khamenei also called on Rouhani’s administration
to boost production by relying on domestic potentials, saying, "The key to
economic prosperity which has been emphasized by the esteemed president, is the
issue of production. Production has to be boosted using numerous domestic
potentials so that economic prosperity and enhanced non-oil exports would be
achieved.”
The Leader said the government’s economic policies are
required to be in compliance with the principles of "Resistance Economy.”
In a decree issued on February 19, Ayatollah Khamenei
outlined the general policies of Iran’s Resistance Economy.
As part of the program, the government must take action in
promoting "knowledge-based economy and domestic production, especially in
strategic products and services, and the consequent reduction of dependence on
imports.”
The decree also encourages greater privatization and
increased exports of goods and services through legal and administrative reform
as well as foreign investment for export purposes.
