Irans Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani has called on the three branches of government to remain vigilant in order to fulfill national resistance, saying the legislative body will fully cooperate with the new administration.
The Islamic Consultative Assembly (Majlis) as the important base of democracy will have all-out amicable cooperation with the new administration, Larijani said in an address to the swearing-in ceremony of President Hassan Rohani on Sunday.
He expressed hope that the next cabinet would try its best to fulfill peoples expectations.
He urged the new president to remain committed to the law because without commitment to the law, justice will have no meaning, sustainable development will not be achieved and peoples life will not be predictable.
The Majlis speaker further noted that the Islamic Revolution has established principles to give responses to chronic pain of the modern world which mainly include democracy, Islamic-based spiritual prosperity and economic development, political and economic independence, freedom of thought, unity among Muslims, and the establishment of justice for world nations.
Irans new president took the oath of office at the Majlis on Sunday, one day after being endorsed by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
Delegations from over 50 countries attended Rohanis inauguration ceremony. Former European Union foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, and former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad also took part in the ceremony as special guests.
Rohani won Irans June 14 presidential election with 50.7 percent of a total of over 36 million ballots. The voter turnout in the election was 72.7 percent.
