The new president thanked Almighty God for His numerous mercies in particular the Iranian people’s confidence and the Leader’s endorsement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shining sun of religious democracy has risen more than 40 years in the country under the guidance of the Grand Imam and with the help of the great and responsible people to present a new model of governance to the world, Raisi stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This kind of governance represents a new version of governing by using religion along with world issues, science along with morals, justice along with progress, and dignity along with welfare, he said, noting that all should know that spirituality has been interrelated with the life of contemporary human beings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
