Rouhani said his statement during the opening of 4,635 large agricultural projects aimed at guaranteeing food.

In any case, he said, the implementation of such plans confirms that no one can stop national development.

One of our objectives with these large projects, he pointed out, is to send the world that sanctions and pressure will not impede the economic growth of Iran.

Among the several works are irrigation systems for 14,000 hectares in the southwestern province of Sistan and Baluchistan, 150 projects in the fishing sector and 571 destined to cattle and poultry.
