Tehran, Dec 24, IRNA – President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday congratulated the world heads of state on the birthday of Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon Him) and beginning of the new year.
'In the crisis-torn world today, featured mostly by violence rather than divine mercy, peace and passion, so that recourse to lofty injunctions of divine prophets is the only way to gain prosperity and elevation of mankind.'


He said that the Islamic Republic of Iran is treading the path of promoting peace and security and economic development with the idea of the World Against Violence and Extremism, which was passed unanimously by the UN General Assembly. The Islamic Republic of Iran has taken strides in the path of challenge and will continue its efforts along with other member states of the United Nations to reach the final goal of respect to human dignity.

In separate message, the president also congratulated the world catholic church leader on the occasion.
