Iran Press/ Iran News: At the center of discussions was Mojtaba Zonnour, the vice-chairman of the Parliament, who emphasized the pivotal role of the imam within the framework of Islamic governance. While acknowledging the incorporation of Western science, Zonnour underscored the fundamental difference in ultimate objectives and directions.
The conference's working group, comprising governors from Golestan, Kerman, North Khorasan, Markazi, and Fars, offered concise glimpses into the nuances of provincial governance through their speeches. Also, two foreign professors presented their papers remotely, contributing insights via video conference.
In an exclusive interview with Iran Press, Hassan Bakhtiari, the head of the Shahid Beheshti School of Governance and secretary, provided insights into the conference's objectives and proceedings.
Bakhtiari emphasized that the fourth national conference on exalted governance revolved around the critical theme of provincial governance, specifically focusing on its local implications.
He highlighted the conference's initial stages, which took shape last year through a series of province-specific gatherings in alignment with the conference's goals and focal points.
Bakhtiari further said, "84 provincial meetings have been held thus far across 100 universities and scientific institutions, attended by over 9,000 domain experts who presented 192 lectures." The province-wide engagement extended to the submission of articles, resulting in a collection of 220 submissions.
After a meticulous evaluation process, 183 articles were deemed worthy of inclusion, and 30 carefully selected pieces were earmarked for presentation during the conference.
The fourth national conference on exalted governance showcased the intellectual rigor and commitment to scholarly dialogue and served as a platform to dissect the multifaceted challenges and requirements of effective provincial governance.
