He then pointed to the increase in public hatred towards terrorists and rioters, and stated that government officials are obliged to do their utmost efforts to restore peace and security in the country and to render quality services to the noble people of the country.
Elsewhere in his remarks, President Raeisi pointed to the imminent start of 2022 World Cup in Qatar and obliged the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to interact with Qatari officials in better organizing this prestigious sport event to prevent the outbreak of possible problems.
