Iran’s Supreme Leader Seyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei said that pushing scientific boundaries is key to making the country stronger. In a message to young people who won scientific and sports medals at international events, he called for a deep and rapid scientific drive.
The message was read on October 26 at a ceremony honouring scientific and sports medal winners called “Medalists Who Care for the Country.” Khamenei congratulated those who recently achieved success at academic olympiads and sports competitions.
He said talented people should use their abilities not only for personal development but also to address the needs of society and the country. He cited applications of scientific advances in agriculture, medicine, energy and other fields.
