The president noted that the meeting was held to listen to the words of fellow Iranians living abroad and also to familiarize them more with the achievements and progress of Iran.
Emphasizing the importance of the role of Iranians living abroad in preserving the Iranian culture, civilization, and identity, the president added, “The relationship of Iranians living abroad should not be cut off from their country and homeland under the pretext of job or education, because being Iranian is a great honor for all Iranians around the world.”
“The young people of this land have made significant achievements by turning sanctions and threats into opportunities in the fields of science, industry and technology,” Raisi added, his official website reported.
Inviting the Iranian expatriates to visit the science and technology parks and learn about the unique achievements of the Iranian scientists and specialists, the president called for efforts to facilitate the return of Iranians abroad to their homeland.
