President Ebrahim Raisi held his first meeting with the new Iranian cabinet on Thursday morning after their visit to the Mausoleum of Imam Khomeini to renew their allegiance to the late founder of the Islamic Revolution.
Raisi had been chairing the former President Hasan Rouhani’s cabinet until today but after all but one of his proposed ministers received their votes of confidence from the parliament yesterday, he chaired his first meeting with his own cabinet on Thursday.
Raisi said that his administration will make utmost efforts to reduce people’s problems.
The Iranian president said that the general vaccination of the people against the Covid-19 will accelerate as the new administration intensifies its efforts. He added that the necessary budget has been allocated to step up local manufacturing of the vaccines as well as accelerating the imports of foreign-made vaccines.
Raisi also urged the cabinet members to discover “corruption loopholes” in his word to intensify the campaign against corruption in the ministries and bodies they lead over.
He added that he and his cabinet members will meet with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei on Saturday.
