In The Name of Almighty God
TO: Plan
and Budget Organization
Attached
please find for implementation the Third Economic, Social and Cultural
Development Plan Law as amended,
enacted at the open session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly on 5/4/2000
(17/1/1379), ratified by the Guardian Council on the same date , and received
through the communiqué No. 3703 of
the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, dated 16/4/2000.
This
Plan has earnestly taken into consideration the issues and challenges of the
future of our country including her very young population, the need for public
participation, furtherance of economic growth, creation of employment opportunities
in order to reduce unemployment rate, developing the country’s resources,
technology and potentials.
The
Plan has been prepared on the basis of directives and guidelines expressed by
the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, and through untiring efforts of the
well-experienced responsible officials, experts, scientific authorities and
assistance of the research institutions.
The Plan could therefore be viewed as a manifestation of the national
consensus as well as a workable instrument for guiding and directing the
complex tasks of the country’s development in an organized and orderly manner
for the years to come.
Despite
the fact that some of changes made in the Plan during the course of debate in
the Islamic Consultative Assembly may cause tardiness in the achievement of the
Plan’s objectives, it is hoped that the infused shortcomings could be eliminated through the course of
preparation of the country’s annual budget bills.
It
is further anticipated that our esteemed colleagues at the executive agencies
who are responsible for implementing the Plan will take all the necessary
measures to secure proper execution of the Plan’s provisions and strategies of
the Cabinet, as I have expressed on the occasion of submission of the Plan bill
to the Islamic Consultative Assembly , so that , God Willing, our exalted
nation will reap the benefits of the Plan’s provisions.
Seyyed Mohammad Khatami
President,
Islamic Republic of Iran
