RNA - Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says domestic production holds the key to ironing out economic woes.

“The key to solving economic problems is not in Lausanne, Geneva and New York,” said the Leader in a meeting with a large number of workers and laborers.

“If economic problems are to be solved, attention should be focused on domestic production,” the Leader noted.

The Leader said one of the ways to boost domestic production is to put up a firm fight against the smuggling of goods.

Ayatollah Khamenei then called on the government to supervise imports, so that the local products market will not be affected.

Ayatollah Khamenei underlined equipment needed by government organs must not be procured from abroad, urging the government to meet its needs through local suppliers if the appliances in demand are produced domestically.

The Leader underlined the need to walk the walk, and not merely talk the talk, when it comes to countering corruption.

“We need to take action and stop corruption in the true sense of the word,” Ayatollah Khamenei underlined.
