Dr Rouhani also said: "The biggest aim of the Iranians is an advanced and pioneer Iran. We share a single law and a single proud and dear Iran".
On Iran's role as the corridor of the region, he said: "We will renovate the transportation and Iran will be the biggest corridor of the region".
In scientific growth, we are ahead of the whole world, added the President, saying: "The people of Bushehr province, as the hosts to South Pars, must have the biggest share of employment and other opportunities of the region".
"Overtaking neighbours in a shared field and increasing production by roughly 2.5 times more in South Pars is the realisation of the motto of 'We Can'," continued the President.
Dr Rouhani also said: "Our religion and nation desire morality and we need to respect each other and our great figures. Our people want peace and advancement; let us stand together like brothers".

He also said: "Developing the defence industry, reducing inflation rate to single-digit figures, and surpassing 8% growth are sources of pride and the indicator of the Iranian nation's power and capability".
Dr Rouhani added: "Preserving the Iranian nation's rights in negotiations with six world powers happened because of the people's support, the Supreme Leader's guidance and the power of our diplomats".
