Iran Press/ Iran News: Delivering a speech on Wednesday in the opening ceremony of ICT projects, Ebrahim Raisi said that the Iranian scholars have reached the point where they feel they are of decision-maker body of the country and at the same time competing with each other on the quality of their work.
Raisi said that good work is being done but there is yet to reach the desired point, adding that one of the manifestations of a people-oriented government is the participation of the people in different sectors, including the knowledge-based projects, with the administration that is just supporting and supervising the process.
"Until yesterday, we were the consumers of the technological products, but now thanks to our scientists, we have managed to produce software and brainware along with hardware," he recalled.
President Raisi pointed to the surrounding countries in Asia and their advancement in terms of technology, saying as much as Iran earns money out of oil selling, the Asian countries (including Iran) do so out of technology such as in the digital economy.
He referred to the national information network as the country's infrastructure for progress and said until the former administration the project advanced up to 30 percent and in the current administration it reached 60 percent, the pace of which must be increased.
Iran's president reiterated that work that is offered in the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology today must be of high quality and done at a higher pace.
The opening ceremony of information and communication technology conference was held on the occasion of the World Day of Communication.
