TEHRAN -- Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Tuesday paid a visit to an exhibition held here to showcase the achievements of the country’s private sector.
The event, dubbed “Pioneers of Progress, a National Event of the Capabilities and Achievements of the Private Sector”, began at Imam Khomeini Hussainiya on Tuesday morning.
The exhibition showcases the capabilities and achievements of the private sector in the fields of communications and information technology, satellite manufacturing equipment, artificial intelligence, aircraft repair equipment and tools, mining and geological industries, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, steel and aluminum industries, home appliances, marine industry, carpet industry, water and electricity industries, textile industry, medical and hospital equipment, and pharmaceutical production, stem cells, agricultural and livestock products, and handicrafts and tourism.
During his tour of the exhibition, Ayatollah Khamenei said the only way for Iran to progress is to utilize the capabilities of the private sector.
The Leader talked to a number of manufacturers and heard their views, after which he called on the administration and its officials to address their complaints.
“The progress of the country depends on giving scope to the private sector, and the only way to advance the country is to use the capacities and capabilities of the private sector,” he said.
Upon hearing the minister of energy’s explanations about ways to eliminate imbalances in the energy sector, Ayatollah Khamenei urged their implementation.
“The issue of imbalances and their solutions has always been on the agenda in recent years, but there is still a long way to go to reach the desired point,” the Leader said.
On Wednesday, a group of private sector manufacturers will meet with Ayatollah Khamenei to share their viewpoints on ways to kickstart a leap in production through popular participation.
Ayatollah Khamenei named the Iranian calendar year of 1403, which ends on March 20, 2025, the year of “Surge in production through people’s participation.”
