also underline that understanding nation's resources and potentials is essential. for effective governance, he pointed out iran's rich and abundant natural resources, its strategic geographic position at the intersection of the world's north, south, east and west, and its vast coast lines, as key examples of the country's valuable material assets. dr. mustafa afgha, an iranian economist and university professor. economic advancement is extremely high. currently the target is an 8% growth rate, fortunately, the country's potential for but i believe the country is capable of achieving double digit growth rate. let me share something with you. it's often said that iran is a wealthy nation, referring to its abundant natural resources like oil, gas
6:20 pm
and minerals. however, i believe that iran's true wealth lies primarily in it. vast human resources which possess exceptional skills and capabilities. when these resources are utilized, effectively, our oil, gas and minerals can transform into national wealth. without human resources, these natural assets remain mere raw materials, far from representing true wealth. meanwhile, mr. bohunar touched upon a point the leader of the revolution had made in his meeting with the cabinet members. population, of course, in recent days serious measures have been implemented in this regard, but we still have a long way to go, the danger remains imminent. unfortunately, one of the mistakes
6:21 pm
made in the islamic republic was the population control policies enacted over the past two or three decades, aging population, if not managed properly, could pose a strategic threat to the country. many other nations worldwide also regrets having adopted similar policies and are now paying a high price for it. the new... administration should reassess the remaining regulations that conflict with increasing the birth rate in the country. on the other hand, the government should create and maintain incentives for families to have more children, ranging from various loans to maternal and paternal leave. with the formation of the new cabinet, there are high public expectations for effective governance and responsiveness to citizens needs. the cabinet members are under pressure implement. policies that can improve living standards and restore public trust in the government. the iranian government under the leadership of dr. pesishian is confronted with a murid
6:22 pm
of economic challenges that threaten the stability and growth of the nation. these challenges are rooted in both internal and external factors, each compounding the difficulties faced by the administration implementing effective policies, one of the primary obstacle. is a pervasive impact of international sanctions, these unfair sanctions predominantly imposed by western nations, in reaction to iran's peaceful nuclear programs have restricted trade, investment and economic growth, the resultant isolation from global markets has led to inflation and depreciating currency, which in turn erodes the purchasing power of the iranian people. given the current situation. where the country is under a regime of sanctions, i believe we should concentrate our efforts on domestic potentials, particularly in the production sector. as you
6:23 pm
know, production is the cornerstone of every economy, and increase in production leads to more job opportunities on the one hand, and a reduction in inflation, poverty and social injustice on the other. i advocate for kind of production dictatorship for. of better term, meaning that anything detrimental to the production sector should be swiftly eliminated by force whether that harmful entity is poor manager or a flaud regulation. domestically, the reliance on oil revenues has rendered the economy vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices, ultimately undermining economic stability. as such, dr.kyan's administration must prior. reform initiatives to foster a more resilient economic framework. dr. told us that the way out of the current economic problems is
6:24 pm
prosperity in the production sector, he also said what can affect it adversely. instability is a little poison for the production sector, whether it stems from managerial or political instability. to be frank, we are confronted with various forms of instability. the crox of my argument is that the new government can enhance the situation in the production sector, but only if it successfully ensures stability at all levels. otherwise, attracting the necessary investments to invigorate the production sector will be challenging if not impossible. moreover, high unemployment rates. pose a critical challenge, particularly amongst the youth, which can lead to social unrest and dissatisfaction with the government. the administration's ability to create job opportunities through investment in various
6:25 pm
sectors such as technology and tourism is essential for addressing this urgent concern. considering this, the cabinet's ability to craft and enact effective policies will serve as a litmus test for its competence and commitment to public welfare. the enemy or pin our hopes on them, but he mentioned that we can interact with the enemy if necessary. these exceptions made by the leader of the revolution can pave the way for
6:26 pm
the new administration to manage. foreign affairs more easily, hopefully breaking the deadlock in the international arena. the success of dr. pesishian's cabinet hinges on several critical factors that will unfold over time. key elements include the cabinet's ability to effectively address pressing national issues, maintain public trust and foster collaboration among diverse political factions and another important issue echoed in speech is the president's prevental trips. مسئله سفرهای استانی یک ضرورت. provincial trips are essential for the president and his cabinet. i will explain why. on one hand, officials need to see various parts of the country first hand, they must engage directly
6:27 pm
with people and listen. to their problems and concerns, this can help them make better decisions when they return to the capital city. there are many insights that can only be gained through direct observation rather than relying on reports and bulletins. moreover, the islamic revolution of iran was movement initiated by the people, for the people. therefore, officials should seize every opportunity to remind the nation that they're just like ordinary citizens and this message can be best be conveyed through a direct. interaction where there is no distance between them, sayid the president and a farmer in a remote area. in this regard, provincial trips serve as a bridge between the government and the public. in rapidly changing political landscape, the ability implement timely and relevant policies will significantly influence public perception and the cabinet's overall efficacy. furthermore, fostering collaboration among diverse political
6:28 pm
factions is... crucial for the cabinets effectiveness an era threatened by polarization, the ability to bridge divides and unite various stakeholders under a common vision will be instrumental in achieving sustainable governance. this collaborative approach not only enhances the legitimacy of the cabinet's decisions, but also ensures that a wider array of perspectives is considered in the policy-making process. the political landscape will undoubtedly present... both opportunities and challenges for dr. pesishian and his team. will he be successful as a ninth president of iran? we have to wait and see. and that will be it for today. thanks for watching from the whole team, but do join us again at the same time next week to see what else is on. until next time. goodbye.
