[00:00:30] subsidies. The President, at the World
[00:00:33] Post Day ceremony, stating that the postal network can be
[00:00:37] an arm of justice in explaining resources, said that
[00:00:41] fair media service requires precise
[00:00:44] identification of needs and access to transparent
[00:00:47] spatial information. Mr. Pezeshkian also referred to the vast capacities
[00:00:51] of the country's postal network and said that equal
[00:00:55] distribution of resources in unequal conditions does not necessarily
[00:00:59] mean the realization of justice. Rather, subsidies and
[00:01:02] services must be delivered to the real beneficiaries
[00:01:05] based on accurate
[00:01:06] information.
[00:01:09] I, who now have such a house, they give me gas for
[00:01:13] free, or at a subsidized price,
[00:01:17] right? At the
[00:01:20] same price, electricity is like this,
[00:01:23] gasoline is like this. Should this gasoline that
[00:01:26] I consume in my car be given to those villages that have nothing?
[00:01:30] Should we give this subsidy or not? Fairness dictates
[00:01:33] that if public funds are to give
[00:01:37] something to someone, they should give to everyone,
[00:01:39] not to a specific group, not to a specific group. Give to everyone,
[00:01:43] no problem. If we have, it's for everyone.
[00:01:46] If we don't have, then no one should
[00:01:49] have it.
[00:01:52] But today, the President also participated in the ceremony for the start
[00:01:56] of the academic year at universities. In this ceremony, the top ranks
[00:02:00] of the university entrance exam were honored. Mr. Pezeshkian, emphasizing
[00:02:03] unity and solidarity, asked everyone to act
[00:02:07] with skill and determination to solve the country's
[00:02:10] problems. I am proud of
[00:02:13] you. I trust you. I believe
[00:02:16] that if
[00:02:18] academics and students enter the scene,
[00:02:22] that is, take control of the field, we will solve
[00:02:25] it.
[00:02:29] The Minister of Science, Research and Technology announced the construction
[00:02:32] of 4,000 dormitory units for married
[00:02:35] students. According to Simayi Sarraf, the construction and completion
[00:02:39] of married dormitories is a priority for the Ministry of Science.
[00:02:42] Almost in the past two years, we have added
[00:02:46] more than a thousand married dormitory
[00:02:49] units. We also have 4,000 under
[00:02:53] construction right now. The dormitory of
[00:02:56] Shahid Beheshti University, which was severely damaged in the American-Zionist
[00:02:59] war, all its units were destroyed.
[00:03:03] I ask you to go and see that it has been repaired better than
[00:03:07] before, equipped, and prepared
[00:03:10] to welcome
[00:03:11] students.
[00:03:15] The winners of the scientific section of the International Storytelling
[00:03:19] Festival were introduced. At a ceremony, 16 winners
[00:03:22] in the categories of essay, article,
[00:03:26] book, and thesis were honored. The head
[00:03:29] of the International Storytelling Festival considered
[00:03:32] holding the scientific section of the festival an opportunity to pay more
[00:03:36] attention to the capacity of research in the development
[00:03:39] of storytelling art and strengthening the link between
[00:03:41] theoretical studies, education, and cultural
[00:03:44] activities, especially for children and teenagers.
[00:03:48] The scientific section, from a scientific perspective,
[00:03:52] in the form of essays, theses, articles, and books, deals with the topic of story and storytelling
[00:03:56] and the educational principles of this topic.
[00:04:03] Countries participate and examine the topic of story and storytelling in the field of education and
[00:04:07] the educational capacities it has for children and teenagers.
[00:04:11] This year, 90 works were submitted in four sections, which were reviewed
[00:04:14] by the jury, and the scientific achievements of the festival
[00:04:18] will determine the strategy for future festivals.
[00:04:20] The novel "Ario" was unveiled
[00:04:24] at the Karistan Baharestan cultural complex.
[00:04:27] This book is a scientific fiction and
[00:04:30] adventurous story for teenagers that deals with the future of
[00:04:34] technology and its impact on
[00:04:36] children and teenagers.
[00:04:38] A journey
[00:04:42] to the future. A place where machines become smarter every day, and
[00:04:46] humans gradually hand over some of their current roles
[00:04:49] to technology. Now, this
[00:04:52] journey is going to take shape in a science fiction novel
[00:04:56] with Ario. The main subject of Ario's novel is that
[00:04:59] new technology, especially artificial intelligence, will advance
[00:05:03] to the point where even the human role in lives diminishes. Usually,
[00:05:07] the main audience for this genre are teenagers. What is narrated
[00:05:10] in Ario is not just literary fantasy. Artificial
[00:05:14] intelligence is already playing a role in education, communication, industry,
[00:05:18] and even daily decisions.
[00:05:21] It's about a boy named Ario, who lives
[00:05:24] in a future time of growth and gets involved with artificial
[00:05:28] intelligence. It's captivating, it has action, and
[00:05:31] it also increases the general knowledge of the audience
[00:05:34] and shows us a kind of future. Perhaps
[00:05:38] the main question is not how much artificial intelligence will advance.
[00:05:41] The issue is what position humans define
[00:05:45] for themselves in this path. For all teenagers all over the world,
[00:05:49] the issue of the future and future changes has become very serious and powerful.
[00:05:52] Perhaps the more serious challenge for us is
[00:05:56] whether we can connect with this volume of work
[00:06:00] and works being produced about the future. I think one of the serious
[00:06:03] challenges of Iranian society is here, and our teenagers will probably
[00:06:07] also be involved in this, some of them already are.
[00:06:11] In a future where machines become smarter every day, what
[00:06:14] keeps humans still human? Perhaps teenagers can answer
[00:06:18] this question by flipping through books like
[00:06:22] Ario. One of the monitors was on, and Ario saw the Alpha
[00:06:25] logo. Below the logo image were a few phrases, and
[00:06:29] a percentage sign was placed in front of each, approaching
[00:06:32] the number 100. Robots, communication lines, navigation
[00:06:36] system, internet network. Zeinab Soleimani,
[00:06:39] Voice and Vision News Agency.
[00:06:43] The 18th Iran Regional Music Festival will be held
[00:06:47] from December 9th to 14th in Kerman Province.
[00:06:51] A cultural event that aims to introduce the music
[00:06:54] of Iranian ethnic groups, identify local talents, and
[00:06:58] link regional music with tourism, will host
[00:07:02] artists from different parts of the country and a number of
[00:07:05] regional countries. The poster for this cultural
[00:07:09] event was also unveiled.
[00:07:13] We tried to look at new perspectives as well, meaning in addition to dedicating a section
[00:07:16] to performances by groups that preserve identity and authenticity,
[00:07:20] we have a new perspectives section. Younger groups, groups
[00:07:22] that, relying on that essence or, in fact, the core
[00:07:26] of music and the identity of regional music, perform new works in various
[00:07:30] genres, we will also have that in another section. There is a youth section
[00:07:34] where young voices will be introduced. We have a vocal section
[00:07:37] where vocal styles such as Hoor Khani, Cherveh Khani, Do
[00:07:41] Beit Khani, Shahnameh Khani, Nezami Khani, which are genres
[00:07:45] that will be performed in this section, and the venue, we will have
[00:07:48] performances throughout Kerman Province, in seven cities, and in Kerman city in five halls.
[00:07:52] And hundreds
[00:07:55] of stalls and dozens of cultural narratives became
[00:07:59] an opportunity to get to know every corner of dear Iran
[00:08:03] at the Sixth International Exhibition of Abilities
[00:08:06] and Achievements of Villagers and Nomads of the country,
[00:08:09] which turned into a symbol of unity and solidarity of different
[00:08:13] ethnic groups.
[00:08:16] From local instruments like the Ney and
[00:08:19] Bim
[00:08:22] and Dotar from South Khorasan, our secrets and needs with this
[00:08:24] instrument, to the taste and local flavor of Sistan
[00:08:28] and Baluchestan's date halva, from traditional
[00:08:31] rituals to handicrafts, it can be a tablecloth and
[00:08:35] a table runner. The Eid feast, Nowruz,
[00:08:38] Yalda. Each stall tells a story from a corner of Iran.
[00:08:43] Sistan and Baluchestan, the land of color, art, and
[00:08:47] beauty, is the strong and beautiful
[00:08:50] face of Islamic Iran. The Sixth International Exhibition
[00:08:54] of Abilities and Achievements of Villagers and Nomads
[00:08:58] became an opportunity to introduce
[00:09:00] the capabilities of different ethnic groups, art, and
[00:09:04] production, which are part of the identity of this land. There are many cities
[00:09:08] that I had not seen, for example, but here it's a complete Iranology.
[00:09:11] I liked the cities.
[00:09:42] The main activity of the rural sector of Eslamshahr
[00:09:46] is dairy products. Dairy products have capacities that, if seen
[00:09:50] with support and planning, can create new opportunities
[00:09:53] from the heart of these villages for economic prosperity.
[00:09:57] We have metal engraving artists from the authentic arts of our country
[00:10:00] that we are fighting tooth and nail to preserve. The best honeys in
[00:10:04] the world and thyme. Mr. Governor,
[00:10:08] please support us for exports.
[00:10:12] We have coordinated with some governmental institutions, including
[00:10:16] the Executive Headquarters of Imam Khomeini, which, so to speak,
[00:10:19] provides those platforms
[00:10:23] for foreign markets, including the issue
[00:10:27] of carpets. Introducing
[00:10:30] different ethnic groups and tourism capacities, alongside
[00:10:33] supporting rural and nomadic products, can create
[00:10:36] a suitable environment for creating sustainable employment and economic
[00:10:40] prosperity in different parts of the country.
[00:10:43] Fatemeh Unam, Voice and Vision News Agency. In
[00:10:46] the name of God, we are still with you from the Khabar
[00:10:50] network.
[00:11:04] Iranian youth have always proven themselves on the battlefields
[00:11:08] more than history has written their names.
[00:11:11] The first, second, and third phases of Beit
[00:11:14] ol-Moqaddas were when we opened the passage. In
[00:11:17] 1980, Mr. Haghighi was among
[00:11:21] the first to head to the fronts. He,
[00:11:25] alongside thousands of Iranian fighters, defended his land
[00:11:29] and water. He sacrificed his leg in Karbala
[00:11:33] Five. The Iraqi army
[00:11:36] from the central fronts of Qasr-e
[00:11:39] Shirin and Sumar and, if I may say so, Gilan-e
[00:11:43] Gharb, launched its full-scale
[00:11:46] invasion. The youth of this land showed that Iran cannot be taken with a map;
[00:11:50] it must be taken with life, like Hossein
[00:11:54] Mohammadi.
[00:12:25] Now, after six months of his injury, he has come among
[00:12:29] the people. He took his first steps with prosthetic
[00:12:33] legs in the home of his martyred friend. Today, I made
[00:12:36] an intention that after I put on these prosthetics, the first
[00:12:40] martyr's home I would visit would be the family of Martyr Raisi.
[00:12:43] To be in the service of his parents. It is an honor for us
[00:12:46] to tell our friends, the people, the nation, that thank God, four
[00:12:50] of our friends have been martyred. Hossein now also drives.
[00:12:53] Don't despair, everyone.
[00:12:59] Everything is promising for us, just as
[00:13:03] His Holiness said, this nation has been chosen
[00:13:05] to reach a high peak that
[00:13:09] the whole world will envy. This defense still continues.
[00:13:13] According to Hossein, each of us has a
[00:13:16] flag for Iran. Flag bearers
[00:13:20] who have not left the field for six months. If Iran
[00:13:23] does not exist, then my body...
[00:13:31] Hossein's narration means that in the Iranian lexicon,
[00:13:35] despair is forbidden, and as long as a heart beats
[00:13:39] for this land, the defense continues.
[00:13:42] Parisa Paniyaz, Voice and Vision News Agency,
[00:13:45] Kermanshah.
[00:13:59] In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Dear compatriots, good people
[00:14:03] of Iran, hello. Welcome to watch the Governor's
[00:14:06] program today. With this introduction, the report you saw
[00:14:09] from Kermanshah. We want to talk to you about
[00:14:13] the very, very proud and
[00:14:16] brave province of Kermanshah, with its zealous people.
[00:14:20] You saw in this report what
[00:14:23] happened to our dear young man and how
[00:14:27] much spirit he and his family have. Today, we want to go to this important
[00:14:30] province of the country, and we are hosting
[00:14:34] Mr. Dr. Manouchehr Habibi, the Governor
[00:14:38] of Kermanshah, who has come to the Governor's program,
[00:14:41] and we are going to talk to him about Kermanshah province. Welcome,
[00:14:45] Mr. Governor. In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I also
[00:14:49] extend my greetings and respects to
[00:14:53] dear compatriots, especially my fellow
[00:14:56] Kermanshahi citizens. Thank you very much. Welcome to the Governor's program
[00:15:00] on Khabar network. Kermanshah
[00:15:03] province has a very important geographical location for us Iranians.
[00:15:06] In any case, it has important capacities. It is a very
[00:15:10] important province in the field of natural
[00:15:13] resources, in terms of
[00:15:16] its border with Iraq, and has many potentials
[00:15:20] and capacities. The most important priority
[00:15:23] of the province for management.
[00:15:32] Today, October
[00:15:35] 12th, which coincides
[00:15:38] with the anniversary of the historic
[00:15:41] trip of the martyred leader to Kermanshah
[00:15:45] province. In any case, let us remember
[00:15:49] and commemorate this great day, which was in fact
[00:15:52] the source of great developments in the economic,
[00:15:55] urban, and social fields. Could you briefly review
[00:15:59] exactly why the martyred leader visited Kermanshah
[00:16:02] on October 12, 2012? You see, that
[00:16:06] day was truly a historical
[00:16:09] turning point in Kermanshah
[00:16:12] province, due to the
[00:16:15] transformations that occurred after that trip. This trip
[00:16:18] lasted for about 10 days. The Supreme Leader,
[00:16:23] the martyred leader, was present in
[00:16:26] different parts of the province. More than 120
[00:16:30] development, economic, and poverty alleviation projects,
[00:16:33] small and large, were approved. I will briefly refer to a few
[00:16:37] of them: the Garmseri water transfer project in the west
[00:16:40] of the province, in the areas of Sarpol-e Zahab,
[00:16:44] Qasr-e Shirin, and Gilan-e Gharb,
[00:16:48] the Kermanshah railway project,
[00:16:51] which continues to Khosravi
[00:16:54] and Baghdad, the construction of the Iran
[00:16:57] Khodro factory was among the approvals of this
[00:17:01] trip. About 500
[00:17:04] small projects were approved during
[00:17:08] this trip, some of which have been put into operation,
[00:17:11] and
[00:17:14] Shahid Beheshti Hospital, Shahid Raisi Hospital,
[00:17:17] which is now providing good
[00:17:21] services to the dear people, was among the approvals of that trip
[00:17:25] by the martyred leader,
[00:17:28] which has truly transformed the province in various
[00:17:32] fields, and in short, in the areas
[00:17:35] of employment, wealth creation, economy, and
[00:17:38] urban development, this trip has been very effective.
[00:17:41] As the martyred leader said, Kermanshah province
[00:17:44] is the strong chest and beautiful
[00:17:47] face of Islamic Iran, a sacred
[00:17:50] land blessed with 10,000
[00:17:54] martyrs. The book of 8 years of holy defense started
[00:17:58] from Kermanshah and Qasr-e Shirin, as you know,
[00:18:01] and in fact, it ended in Mersad Strait, Eslamabad-e Gharb.
[00:18:05] A land as vast as history,
[00:18:08] from Bistun Anahita
[00:18:11] to Taq-e Bostan and to
[00:18:15] Mersad Ambush, which essentially brought the hypocrites
[00:18:18] to their slaughter and hammered the final nail in the coffin
[00:18:21] of the hypocrites by the warriors of Islam in Mersad Strait.
[00:18:25] This land is the birthplace of eternal
[00:18:28] culture and wisdom, from the golden pen of Ayatollah
[00:18:32] Nojoumi, who is
[00:18:35] an eternal figure of the Islamic world,
[00:18:38] to the figure of Persian literature,
[00:18:41] Mir Jalaleddin Kazzazi, who is a famous figure,
[00:18:45] and the eternal melodies of Master Ahmad Azizi
[00:18:49] and Master Mohammad Javad Mohabbat and
[00:18:52] dozens of other intellectuals. All
[00:18:55] these are figures who grew up
[00:18:59] in Kermanshah province. Kermanshah is in fact
[00:19:02] the eternal standard-bearer of resistance
[00:19:05] and sacrifice, an example of which you saw
[00:19:08] in your program. A land that, from the epic of 8
[00:19:12] years of holy defense to the 12-day war, to the
[00:19:15] Ramadan war, has always stood like
[00:19:19] Mount Bisotun for this revolution.
[00:19:21] And
[00:19:24] from Martyr Mohammad Saeed Jafari, who was
[00:19:27] in fact the commander of the west,
[00:19:30] Martyr Dokamizadeh, who along with his father spent 10 years in Saddam's
[00:19:34] prisons, to
[00:19:37] the renowned commander, Commander Haj Ramadan, who stole sleep
[00:19:40] from the Israelis and in fact
[00:19:44] made the world dark for them, and to the proud veteran
[00:19:48] Hossein Mohammadi, who lost
[00:19:51] Islamic Iran and is known today
[00:19:55] as Mr. Launcher of Iran.
[00:19:59] We have two world heritage sites in
[00:20:02] Kermanshah province, one is the unique
[00:20:06] Bisotun inscription and the beautiful and heavenly and unparalleled
[00:20:09] Hawraman region. A province with 2 million
[00:20:13] people, 14 cities, and 35 towns.
[00:20:17] It has more than 2500 villages.
[00:20:20] A small Iran with a rainbow
[00:20:24] of ethnic groups. Kermanshah province has both a Shia
[00:20:27] population and a Sunni population, and the Ahl-e
[00:20:31] Haqq community live together.
[00:20:34] The oldest and closest
[00:20:38] route to Karbala and the holy shrines is through the Khosravi border
[00:20:41] in Kermanshah province. This province is in fact
[00:20:44] host to more than 60% of
[00:20:48] the pilgrims
[00:20:51] of Arbaeen of Imam Hussein, who pass through the province's
[00:20:55] route and geography. About 40% of exports to Iraq
[00:20:58] are done through the borders of Kermanshah
[00:21:02] province, and overall, in the four-season climate of Kermanshah,
[00:21:05] simultaneously with the icy cold in the east of the province
[00:21:09] in Sonqor, you have a temperate climate in central
[00:21:12] Kermanshah and the Uramanat region, and a
[00:21:16] scorching heat in Qasr-e Shirin and
[00:21:20] Sumar, all together. This is the birthplace of heroes and champions.
[00:21:23] Kermanshah is essentially known as the birthplace of heroes,
[00:21:27] from Aryan Salimi, who won a gold medal at these
[00:21:31] Asian Games, to whom I repeat, yes, Atousa
[00:21:34] Golshadnejad and Yasin Khosravi and
[00:21:38] dozens of other heroes and champions. All of them
[00:21:41] have their origin and birthplace in Kermanshah province.
[00:21:45] In addition, Kermanshah is a creative world city.
[00:21:48] In
[00:22:04] any case, in the service of the great, dear, loyal,
[00:22:08] and border-guarding people of my province.
[00:22:10] Given all the explanations you gave, I think
[00:22:14] a very good familiarity has been created for the people of Iran
[00:22:17] with the capacity-rich
[00:22:20] province of Kermanshah, which I said at the beginning of my speech is one of the very, very important
[00:22:24] and valuable provinces of Iran.
[00:22:27] And its
[00:22:29] proximity to our important borders is also of great importance.
[00:22:33] Let's go back to the first question. What is your most important priority,
[00:22:37] very briefly, for transforming capacities into
[00:22:41] sustainable employment opportunities, industry, and agriculture in this province?
[00:22:44] Yes, as you correctly pointed out, Kermanshah has
[00:22:48] 371 meters of border,
[00:22:52] and simultaneously, it has connections with two markets
[00:22:54] in two regions, Arab Iraq and Iraqi
[00:22:58] Kurdistan.
[00:23:00] It is located in the communication hub
[00:23:04] of the west, such that it has maximum
[00:23:07] access within two hours to neighboring
[00:23:10] provinces and
[00:23:12] to nearly three to four
[00:23:16] Iraqi provinces. Its activities
[00:23:19] include petrochemical complexes that are currently active,
[00:23:22] and three more petrochemical complexes that are under
[00:23:26] construction. The
[00:23:28] Eslamabad-e Gharb petrochemical complex has 65%
[00:23:32] physical progress, the Sonqor petrochemical
[00:23:35] complex has 60%, and the second phase of our Kermanshah petrochemical
[00:23:38] complex also has 88% progress. With the completion
[00:23:42] of these, Kermanshah will essentially be considered
[00:23:45] the petrochemical hub of the country.
[00:23:48] The annual
[00:23:51] production of 5.5 million tons of agricultural
[00:23:54] products has made this province a strategic
[00:23:58] province in the country's food
[00:24:00] security. As I mentioned, we have two
[00:24:04] world heritage sites like Bisotun and Hawraman, which are very
[00:24:07] important in the field of tourism
[00:24:11] and significant. And
[00:24:14] overall, both the border
[00:24:16] and the agricultural sector
[00:24:20] and our industrial
[00:24:21] and tourism sectors have
[00:24:25] created a very high capability
[00:24:29] for the province to use these capacities
[00:24:32] and continue on its path. In this regard,
[00:24:36] during the trip in May
[00:24:39] 2025, Mr. President and the respected
[00:24:42] government delegation to Kermanshah province,
[00:24:45] 38 trillion tomans
[00:24:48] of facilities
[00:24:52] and financial and banking resources
[00:24:55] were approved to be made available to
[00:24:59] industrial units. 140
[00:25:02] of our production units that were stagnant in the industrial
[00:25:06] and agricultural sectors have returned to the production cycle, which
[00:25:10] has created nearly 124
[00:25:12] jobs.
[00:25:14] We held 122
[00:25:17] meetings in industrial units as part of our
[00:25:20] economic Wednesdays with managers of production
[00:25:24] units to follow up on their issues. Our dialogue council
[00:25:27] rose 18 places in the ranking. It was at the bottom
[00:25:31] of the table, but due to these actions that
[00:25:34] were taken, it made good progress,
[00:25:38] and we are witnessing a leap in various
[00:25:40] agricultural, economic, and
[00:25:43] industrial sectors. Thank you very
[00:25:46] much. Regarding agriculture, Kermanshah
[00:25:50] province, considering the capacity you
[00:25:54] mentioned, from east to west, which has a very
[00:25:57] diverse climate, plays a very important
[00:26:01] role in the country's food security. Given
[00:26:04] that we have moved towards increasing agricultural
[00:26:08] productivity in the policies of the Ministry of Agriculture,
[00:26:11] and now the development of processing industries,
[00:26:15] optimizing water consumption, etc., what specific
[00:26:18] measures and programs have you implemented for food
[00:26:21] security and improving the agricultural sector
[00:26:25] in the province? As you mentioned, one of
[00:26:28] our very important capacities is the field
[00:26:32] of agriculture. We have about 950 thousand hectares
[00:26:35] of fertile agricultural and permanent land,
[00:26:39] and annually we produce something close to 5.5
[00:26:42] million tons of products. We have achieved the second rank
[00:26:46] in agricultural production in the province, and
[00:26:49] we have achieved the fourth rank in guaranteed wheat
[00:26:53] purchase. We produce about one million tons of wheat per year,
[00:26:56] and in
[00:27:00] chickpea
[00:27:03] production, the province produces more than 30 to 40
[00:27:06] percent of the country's total production,
[00:27:09] and this share and brand belongs to it.
[00:27:13] Also, 1.5 million tons
[00:27:16] of sugar beet are produced, which ranks
[00:27:19] second in the country. For these
[00:27:23] capacities, we have prepared some programs, including
[00:27:27] crop pattern reform
[00:27:29] through transitioning from traditional
[00:27:32] agriculture to modern
[00:27:35] and water-efficient agriculture, and accelerating
[00:27:39] the operation of downstream networks
[00:27:42] and hundreds of control
[00:27:46] of illegal water
[00:27:49] abstraction from groundwater tables,
[00:27:52] which had caused many of our lands
[00:27:56] to face a drop in groundwater
[00:27:59] levels. The development of modern orchards
[00:28:03] is being pursued in Kermanshah province, and the strengthening
[00:28:06] of processing industries in this regard. These actions
[00:28:10] have enabled us to utilize more than 75
[00:28:14] percent of the Garmseri
[00:28:17] water transfer system, which was approved during the martyred
[00:28:20] leader's trip to the province. This project
[00:28:23] itself has led to an increase in agricultural production,
[00:28:26] including sugar beet, wheat, and corn.
[00:28:30] The operationalization of the
[00:28:33] 4,000-hectare modern orchard, meaning
[00:28:37] using modern and new methods, is in
[00:28:40] the west of the province. About 2,000
[00:28:43] illegal wells that had been drilled
[00:28:47] have been sealed, which has led to
[00:28:51] nearly 85 million cubic meters
[00:28:54] of water being added to
[00:28:57] the groundwater level, and many of our
[00:29:01] qanats that had dried up are now
[00:29:05] full of water.
[00:29:07] The launch of satellite monitoring
[00:29:11] under the name of "Green Cultivation" for smart
[00:29:14] supervision of agricultural activities was among the measures
[00:29:18] that led to our agricultural standing
[00:29:22] improving from rank 6 to rank 4
[00:29:25] in two years. What was the percentage increase in our productivity
[00:29:29] in the agricultural sector? You see, we had an increase
[00:29:33] of about one million tons in agricultural
[00:29:36] product production compared to last year, which
[00:29:39] led to the province's rank improving. Thank
[00:29:43] you very much. One of the important capacities of your province,
[00:29:46] which you mentioned at the beginning of your speech, is the Khosravi border
[00:29:50] and in fact, the borders we have with Iraq
[00:29:53] through Kermanshah. It is the official
[00:29:57] gateway for Arbaeen pilgrims entering and exiting, and
[00:30:00] for imports and exports. Given that this border is of
[00:30:03] great importance for both pilgrims
[00:30:07] and traders, what programs has the province
[00:30:10] implemented to facilitate these movements, customs
[00:30:14] procedures, and related matters to reduce
[00:30:18] waiting times and other issues? The border
[00:30:20] and border markets
[00:30:23] are an unparalleled capacity
[00:30:26] of Kermanshah province. We have
[00:30:29] defined Kermanshah province as
[00:30:33] the gateway of pilgrimage and trade.
[00:30:36] As you mentioned in your speech,
[00:30:40] both Arbaeen and It's about trade and
[00:30:43] exports. We have 6 official borders
[00:30:47] and marketplaces in Kermanshah
[00:30:50] province that are active along
[00:30:53] 371 kilometers of border that we have with
[00:30:57] Iraq.
