Security requisite for economic prosperity: Ayatollah Khamenei
Tehran (KNA) - Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says establishment of a secure atmosphere in the society is necessary for the realization of economic prosperity, calling on the country’s police force to fight all factors that undermine security, including smuggling.
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with a group of commanders and other senior officials of the Iranian Law Enforcement Force in Tehran on Sunday.
Noting that the Iranian New Year has been designated as the year of "economic prosperity," the Leader said law enforcement plays an important role in the realization of that goal through fighting smuggling and securing cyberspace.
"The Law Enforcement Force must launch a serious fight against smuggling and also those who make cyberspace insecure," the Leader stated.
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that establishment of security is a necessary condition for economic prosperity, saying, "Smuggling is an impediment to realizing [the goal of] boosting [domestic] production."
