1 00:00:00,370 --> 00:00:02,620 In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,170 O You Who Mutate Hearts and Visions 3 00:00:07,850 --> 00:00:11,320 O You Who Run Day and Night 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,200 O You Who Turn Years and Conditions 5 00:00:15,700 --> 00:00:19,520 Change Our Conditions to the Best 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:25,500 Blessings Be Upon Ali, Fatima and Her Father and Her Husband and Her Children 7 00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:35,670 The start of the year coincides with the anniversary of the martyrdom of Hadhrat FatimaZahra, May God Bless Her 8 00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:48,270 Our people’s attachment to the household of the prophet [Muhammad] and the esteemed daughter of the great messenger has requirements 9 00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:58,100 which everyone is bound to meet and will definitely do so 10 00:00:59,420 --> 00:01:10,720 We hope that these days and this [new] year would be littered with the blessings of Fatima 11 00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:16,020 and the blessed name of this great figure and her memory 12 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:29,020 would leave deep-seated and lasting effects on the lives of our people in the [Iranian calendar] year 1394 13 00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:41,350 And we hope that the beginning of spring, the [rebirth of] nature, which marks the start of New Year on the solar calendar 14 00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:51,620 , would be filled with blessings for the Iranian nation and all nations marking Norouz 15 00:01:52,220 --> 00:02:01,750 I offer my humble salutations to the household of Hadhrat Baqiatallah al-Azam (an allusion to the last Shia imam believed to be in occultation) for whom we are ready to sacrifice our souls 16 00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:15,220 We commemorate the late great Imam [Khomeini] and our honorable martyrs at this blessed time 17 00:02:15,420 --> 00:02:26,950 and we hope to enjoy the blessings of the pure souls and the prayers of the pure souls of these esteemed figures. 18 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:36,620 We take a brief look at the year 1393 19 00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:44,400 and a brief look at the current year which starts at this time 20 00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:55,350 The year 93, both in the internal domain and external and international domain 21 00:02:55,470 --> 00:02:59,470 was replete with adventures for our country 22 00:03:01,770 --> 00:03:06,200 We had challenges, we also made progress 23 00:03:07,970 --> 00:03:14,320 Given these challenges 24 00:03:15,150 --> 00:03:23,400 we named the year 93 the year of “National Determination and Diligent Management” 25 00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:29,120 Taking a look at what happened in the year 93 26 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:36,950 we see that, thank God, national determination was manifested 27 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:47,800 our nation demonstrated its firm determination in enduring certain problems that existed 28 00:03:48,850 --> 00:03:53,020 it proved this determination, this aspiration on Bahman 22 (February 11), on Quds Day 29 00:03:54,250 --> 00:04:06,250 and also in the massive demonstrations on Arabeen (December 13, 2014). 30 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:15,070 Diligent management was, thank God, obvious and evident in some sectors 31 00:04:16,420 --> 00:04:22,020 In the sectors we observed diligent management 32 00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:25,700 we witnessed progress 33 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:32,200 Of course, this recommendation is not limited to the year 93 34 00:04:32,970 --> 00:04:37,620 National determination and diligent management are both necessary for our nation in this year 35 00:04:38,170 --> 00:04:43,550 and in the years to come 36 00:04:44,420 --> 00:04:53,570 But in the year 94, we have great wishes for our dear nation 37 00:04:54,370 --> 00:04:57,520 and all of these wishes could be fulfilled 38 00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:07,220 Our great wish for the nation in this year is economic development 39 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,150 as well as regional and international might and dignity 40 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,270 scientific progress in the true sense of the word 41 00:05:18,150 --> 00:05:21,270 judicial and economic justice 42 00:05:22,050 --> 00:05:24,470 as well as faith and spirituality 43 00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:30,870 which are the most important of all 44 00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:38,600 In our view, all these demands and wishes are attainable 45 00:05:39,550 --> 00:05:50,800 None of them are outside the capability of the Iranian nation and outside what the [Islamic] establishment’s policies can achieve 46 00:05:51,570 --> 00:05:54,120 We enjoy great potential 47 00:05:54,970 --> 00:05:58,270 To that effect, there is a lot to say 48 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:05,400 and I will address, God willing, the most important of them in [my Satrurday] afternoon’s speech 49 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:13,050 What I would like to speak about to our dear nation 50 00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:21,970 is that this potential is great and can be realized, but it has requirements 51 00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:33,220 One of these requirements consists of friendly cooperation between the nation and the government 52 00:06:34,450 --> 00:06:40,100 If such friendly cooperation takes shape from both sides 53 00:06:40,670 --> 00:06:47,170 our wishes will thoroughly come true 54 00:06:47,950 --> 00:06:53,000 and our dear people will see their effects with their own eyes 55 00:06:53,420 --> 00:07:01,620 The government is meant to serve the nation and the nation is demanding services from the government 56 00:07:02,620 --> 00:07:11,800 The more friendship, cooperation and empathy between them 57 00:07:12,300 --> 00:07:14,520 the better work will go ahead 58 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:25,770 They should trust one another.The government should recognize the nation, in the proper sense of the word 59 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:33,250 and recognize the value, significance and capabilities of the nation 60 00:07:33,950 --> 00:07:42,170 . Reciprocally, the nation should trust the government in the proper sense of the word 61 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,500 In this regard, I have issues to address 62 00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:52,720 and I have also recommendations which I will, God willing, highlight in my speech 63 00:07:53,320 --> 00:08:01,400 In my view, we should consider the current year as the year of extensive cooperation between the government and the nation 64 00:08:02,170 --> 00:08:09,870 . I have chosen the following motto for this year: Government and Nation, Empathy and Rapport 65 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,320 We hope that this slogan will be realized in practice 66 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:23,300 and both sides of this motto, i.e. our dear nation, our great nation, 67 00:08:23,850 --> 00:08:32,500 our ambitious and courageous nation, our prudent and wise nation and the government, dedicated to serving people, 68 00:08:33,050 --> 00:08:40,870 will be able to abide by this motto in the proper sense of the word and would see its impacts and results 69 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:49,420 We pray to Almighty God to facilitate progress in the country 70 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,350 and we ask Almighty God to enable us to succeed in rendering services. 71 00:08:54,660 --> 00:08:57,950 Blessings upon you, and God’s compassion and blessings upon you.
