Iranian presidential candidate Mohsen Rezaee says the Iranian nation has weathered the hardships of economic sanctions imposed by the West.
The independent candidate said if he is elected president in the upcoming election, he will lay a new foundation for the economy.
Rezaee, who is on a campaign trail across the country, said the participation of people from all walks of life will make his economic plan a success.
Resource-rich Iran can tackle Western sanctions and create an economic epic as advised by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, said Rezaee.
The presidential candidate has already pledged to concentrate more on domestic production and non-oil exports instead of focusing on oil revenues if he is elected president.
He has also reaffirmed his determination to provide all the required means for the development of provincial economies, including allocation of state and green subsidies to local producers, farmers and fisheries.
Rezaei is competing against Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, President of the Center for Strategic Research of the Expediency Council Hassan Rohani, lawmaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili, former Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Velayati, former First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref, and former Telecommunications Minister Mohammad Gharazi.
On June 14, Iranians will cast their ballots at over 66,000 polling stations across the country to choose their 11th president. Expatriates will also be able to vote at 285 polling stations that will be set up in their respective countries.
The president of Iran is elected for a four-year term in a national election after the Guardian Council vets the candidates.
