The Leader received Acting President Mohammad Mokhber and his cabinet members in Tehran on Sunday morning, two days after the presidential runoff that saw Masoud Pezeshkian winning against Saeed Jalili.
During the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei said that the 13th administration led by Martyr Ebrahim Raisi was the “government of work and hope” in both domestic and foreign sectors.
Martyr Raisi was hopeful and optimistic about the future, the Leader said, adding that the late president intended to reach his goals with the cooperation of his cabinet members.
Ayatollah Khamenei also hailed Raisi for supporting the public and giving paramount importance to their demands, saying that all officials and future governments should use his practice as a role model.
Martyr Raisi deeply believed in domestic capabilities, and clearly expressed his religious and revolutionary views, while he was hardworking and tireless, the Leader added.
Ayatollah Khamenei also said that the late president was trustworthy and fulfilled his promises, despite all the existing problems and criticism from others.
Martyr Raisi believed in interaction from a dignified point of view, which made several world leaders recognize him as a prominent figure and not an ordinary politician following his martyrdom, the Supreme Leader noted.
He also thanked acting president Mokhber and his cabinet members for their efforts to serve the country over the past three years.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the leader hailed the latest presidential elections, and thanked all officials and organizations involved for contributing to efforts to hold “a good election without any incidence.”
