Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people in Tehran on Friday, Hojjatoleslam Aboutorabifard said, "Supreme Leader's advice on relying on the younger generation as a roadmap for development and achieving a stronger economy within the format of resistance economy should be taken into consideration."

"A strong economy will open up the gates to development and growth," he added.

In relevant remarks on March 21, Ayatollah Khamenei, in a video message broadcasted March 21 after the start of the new Persian year, said that economic issues still remain atop the country’s concerns, and called on the government and the nation to boost production in the country.
