Dr. Fariba Mohammadian, Ministry of Sports Vice-Chancellor for Women, made the remarks while visiting the pavilion of Mehr News Agency at the venue of the 23rd edition of Tehran Press Exhibition currently underway in Grand Musalla of Tehran.
Referring to performance of Women’s Department at the Iranian Ministry of Sports, the official said efforts have been made to boost share of women in championships as well as to increase their presence in public and popular sports.
Deputy sports minister went on to note that “we are trying to advance the country’s National Vision in accordance with guidelines of the Leader and the President.
