This representative emphasized the necessity of creating educational and cultural programs for these students, noting that their abilities should be utilized to promote Persian culture and language.
The Necessity of Cooperation Among Institutions
The representative of the Supreme Leader also stressed the need for cooperation among various institutions in the province and the country to create a suitable environment for cultural activities.
