"In the name of God,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Journalist Day is a tribute to those who, with their critical perspective and committed pens, serve as a clear mirror of society, paving the way for transparency, hope, and public trust.
Undoubtedly, sustainable urban development and the improvement of citizens' quality of life cannot be achieved without the active participation of media professionals and the honest reflection of the people’s concerns.
While honoring the memory of martyrs in the field of journalism, especially the martyred journalist Mahmoud Saremi, I congratulate all journalists, writers, and media activists—particularly the diligent and committed journalists of Ahvaz—on this auspicious day.
It is my duty to express my sincere gratitude for your companionship, compassion, and dedicated follow-up in reflecting urban actions and services, as well as your responsible advocacy for better service delivery to our citizens. It is my hope that by continuing this constructive interaction, we can take greater strides toward development, justice, and citizen satisfaction, witnessing a city that is more beautiful, more vibrant, and worthy of its people.
I pray to Almighty God for the success, pride, and health of all those striving in the field of media. Stay healthy, proud, and victorious."
