The Expediency Council's role in terms of consultation is of high importance, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution spoke about the recent riots in the country, saying that such sporadic riots have been plotted by the enemy after they could not stop the nation's advances towards development despite all their pressures.

Ayatollah Khamenei further underscored that the recent events should not distract government officials from the main and basic tasks which are leading the country toward development.
