“We have traveled to Sirjan today to inaugurate several projects and personally appreciate those involved in their implementation,” the president stated. “The projects being launched today have been carried out with an investment of 200 trillion rials, a significant amount. I hope the employment opportunities and production from these facilities, along with the downstream industries that will emerge, will lead to further economic and social progress for Sirjan and Kerman.”

During his visit, President Pezeshkian toured different parts of the Gohar Park Tourism Village, including the Sacred Defense Memorial, where he received briefings on the execution and activities of the various sections.

The president reiterated his hope that these new projects would accelerate Sirjan’s growth and development.

Speaking at the inauguration of development projects in Sirjan, the President expressed his condolences over the tragic bus accident that claimed the lives of several students from Kerman. He acknowledged the efforts of past administrations in initiating investment projects, stating that the government’s role was merely to inaugurate these initiatives. He extended gratitude to those who had worked to bring these projects to fruition.

Pezeshkian stressed the importance of collective cooperation in addressing challenges, warning against individualistic decision-making. “If we work together, we can solve problems, but if someone believes they have all the answers, we will face difficulties,” he stated.

He also called for better utilization of available resources, noting that despite having abundant facilities, their potential had not been fully harnessed. He urged improvements in the efficiency and quality of resource use.

Highlighting the significance of long-term investments, the President reiterated the necessity of creating a sustainable future. “We can use our oil, gas, and mineral reserves today, but what happens when they are depleted? This is why we must invest in the future of Iran’s children while utilizing our current resources wisely,” he concluded.
