Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says all existing problems in Iran can be overcome through taking advantage of capable manpower that abounds in the country.

According to Press TV, Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili, the commander of the Iranian Army’s Khatam al-Anbiya Air Defense Base and other senior commanders and officials of the air defense base in Tehran on Sunday.

The Leader said capable manpower plays an unparalleled role in the progress of various sectors, including the Armed Forces.

Ayatollah Khamenei urged unrelenting efforts to benefit from talented workforce in order to overcome the country’s shortages and satisfy its needs.

“Vast improvements in different sectors such as the Armed Forces as well as the sectors of science and technology show the existence of capability in the country’s young and motivated manpower,” the Leader stated.

The Leader added that young capable Iranians either inside the country or in scientific and technological centers across the world are a source of honor.
