Presidential candidate Raeisi stresses economic boom, settling unemployment

TEHRAN, May 11, YJC - Iranian presidential hopeful Ebrahim Raeisi said that the Iranian nation are demanding economic boom and settling unemployment concern.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - "People are after economic boom and solving unemployment. "The administration of labor and dignity views people based on dignity,” he said in a talk show.

He has already said that he had chosen "labor and dignity” as the slogan of his administration if elected.

The member of the cabinet should create job opportunities and improve the atmosphere of business through working round the clock, since people are demanding economic boom and employment, Raeisi noted.

He further added that fueling political conflicts in the society would not help improving the business or solving people’s problems. "We should let the economy grow if we are after economic development, increasing exports, reducing imports, economic boom and production.”

Raeisi further said the unemployment rate in Iran is 12 percent, adding, "We should provide everyone with job. The administration of labor and dignity will try to turn the country into the scene of entrepreneurship, producing wealth and removing poverty from the country.”

He then touched on foreign policy, saying, "Our neighbors will be in priority regarding foreign communications. We can have considerable social, cultural and economic ties with them.”

He also said regional countries, Latin America, East Asia and East Europe would be the next priority.
