Addressing senior officials and experts, President Pezeshkian emphasized that national progress depends on shared expertise and collective action, the vice presidency’s Information Center reported.

He also called on the vice presidency to address economic, managerial, and sociological challenges through innovative solutions.
The president supported marketing efforts for domestic technological products both at home and abroad, and praised progress in installing solar panels on government buildings, urging similar action in provinces and limiting Tehran’s further expansion to protect its environmental and cultural sustainability.
