Rouhani urges fight against smuggling of foreign commodities

EghtesadOnline: President Hassan Rouhani on Sunday urged fighting smuggling of foreign commodities to Iran.

Speaking to the cabinet members, he underlined the importance of fighting smuggling of foreign commodities and making the Resistance Economy outlined by the Leader operational.

Rouhani also urged acceleration of scientific progress forward according to the sixth Five-Year Development Plan, reports IRNA.

Execution of the principles of foreign policy of Islamic Republic should be pursued across the world, he said.

Back in 2014, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in a proclamation outlined a series of general policies to boost Iran’s economy and lower its vulnerabilities.

The proclamation, laying out a grand plan for Resistance Economy in Iran, was issued after consultations with the country’s Expediency Council and based upon the Clause 1 of Article 110 of the Iranian Constitution.

The Leader also described Resistance Economy as a dynamic and long-term strategy that can help Iran realize its economic objectives.
