The minister further pointed to Iranians’ positive effects on their surrounding environment and the world community, and said, “Due to their ample competencies and aptitudes, Iranians have influenced development, progress and welfare of the world community in a positive and constructive manner, and these potentials can pave the way for the sustainable development of their own land as well.”
