AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei pointing to the political capacities and strategic depth of the Islamic Republic of Iran emphasized: "There was a day when Iran was known for carpets and oil, today Iran is known for science, military progress, regional power, and strategic depth in the world. This is the opportunity we have.
"The ability to influence the countries of the world, the region, this is not a small thing, it is a very important thing. This is one of our opportunities," Ayatollah Khamenei stated in a meeting with the president and the members of the 14th Administration on Tuesday.
While thanking the President and the Parliament for helping to quickly form the administration, emphasized: "Mr. President consulted with me to select ministers, I approved some and I affirmed others, and many I did not know and had no opinion".
Relying on the work of experts means wise governance.
Addressing the members of the 14th Administration, the Leader emphasized the ministers to embark on provincial trips, he noted.
Ayatollah Khamenei said: "We are grateful to God that, thank God, the administration was formed with the efforts of the honorable president and with the precious help of the parliament, this is a great blessing. In past administrations, sometimes the administration could not be formed for almost a month or more, and all the ministers did not receive a vote of confidence from the parliament.
Addressing the ministers, the Leader emphasized: "Today, you are in a position where you can be effective in the progress of the country and the administration of the country's affairs. This position has given you such a position. Serving people is a great blessing."
