Rouhani: security pivotal to social stability, development

TEHRAN, March 1 (MNA) Irans president has said security is pivotal to the countrys development and social stability.



Hassan Rouhni who was addressing a plenary meeting of Ministry of Defense managers today morning, believed security as peoples perceived security against possible threats, and a situation where the public entrust the government protection of their national and religious values, independence, national unity, and territorial integrity.

Our armed forces in the frontlines; they need and deserve our support so that they would remain in frontlines to attend their duties without any concerns over their needs, Rouhani said, and in fact, the Ministry of Defense works to provide armed forces with the needs and peace of mind necessary for carrying out their duties.

Rouhani held that defending values and ideals, and national interests was not the duty of a single body or part of the system, but that all society should cooperate in that.

Diplomacy and foreign policy actors are also soldiers to defend national esteem, independence, and ideals, Rouhani went on to say. today, the society is a network of interlinked players and if the cultural atmosphere was not healthy enough, it would also affect our armed forces; since when a soldier is out of his spirits which should be provided by his family and society at large, he would not be a good soldier in defense of the country, Rouhani asserted.

Rouhani believed that the cultural and intellectual elites were responsible for boosting spirituality and motivation for armed forces. If our artists and intellectuals failed in their duties, defense would be much difficult, Rouhani added.

President also believed that Irans armed forces should act as forces of containment against the enemy through proper measures in defense.
