RNA – In a meeting with the CEO of the Industrial Parks of Qom Hujjat al-Islam Sayyed Mohammad Sa’idi said that the resistance economy is a permanent solution for Iran’s economic problems.

He said that the Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolutionhas repeatedly emphasized the importance of the resistance economy.

He noted that these measures were not necessarily implemented because of the economic crisis, although they are more important during current economic hardships.

The trustee of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah (S) referred to the attention paid by developed countries to the resistance economy before they reached an advanced stage.

“The Chinese, the French, Germans, Americans and some other developed countries were not always developed countries as they are currently, they achieved their current position due to a resistance economy,” he stressed.

Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi pointed to the widespread presence of Chinese products around the world, saying that today, in the midst of economic troubles, Chinese products from both small and large industries have influence in the world and are also available in Iran.

Qom’s Friday prayers’ leader urged Iranians to use local products and added that cultural work only has a partial impact. The people are only follow the resistance economy to a limit due to the pressure of the sanctions and media propagation, thus Iranian producers must answer the peoples’ needs with the appropriate economic mechanisms so that the resistance economy has an effect.

He pointed out that we should further their efforts and some also consider some areas that the people pay attention to. For example, in manufacturing and industry, we need to see the intellectuals of the world in advanced fields.

Hujjat al-Islam Sa’idi stressed that the manufacturers must guarantee the quality of their products and services. “When we encourage people to use local products, the invitation will only be effective when our industries show respect to their products effort and guarantee them.”

“We support the use of local products and we recommend to manufacturers that they must strengthen the quality of their products so that they people will purchase local products,” he added.
