The meeting was held at Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi's officie as Iran has begun celebrations to commemorate the 43rd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, which overthrew the US-backed Pahlavi regime.
The festivities, known as the Ten-Day Dawn, start with ceremonies that mark the return to Iran of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic, after 15 years in exile.
During the meeting, Hojjat al-Islam Komsari shed light on the activities undertaken by the Institute to introduce Imam Khomeini's works and ideals for the readers and audience across various parts of the world.
For this part, Ayatollah Ibrahim Raeisi also hailed and praised the academic services provided for the devotees and believers in form of Imam's books and digital works. The president stressed that Imam's ideals and thoughts formed the very basic pillars of the Islamic Revolution and sought effective steps for their promotion.
The president further assured his assistance for promotion of such sublime goal and objective.
The Institute for compilation and publication of Imam Khomeini's works is sole authentic platform to promote Imam's works, letters, speeches and documents regarding his struggle for the Islamic Revolution.
Also on Wednesday morning, the president visited the mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini, on the occasion of the 43rd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
The president further highlighting the ideals of the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Raeisi said relying on God and engaging people were two basic principles invoked by the “great reformer of the century” to lead the Iranian nation toward the Revolution.
"Imam’s advice to support [ordinary] people and hut-dwellers was a truth and was drawn from a belief," he noted. "Attending to people is a principle for all administrations, [including] our administration … We need to take lessons from the Imam’s political view," Raeisi added.

It is worth-mentioning that millions of Iranians welcomed the charismatic leader in Tehran on February 1, 1979. Imam Khomeini’s arrival intensified months of popular protests against the Pahlavi regime.
Ten days later, the rallies culminated in the downfall of the Pahlavi regime, bringing the curtain down on more than two millennia of monarchy in Iran.
The Islamic Revolution established a new political system; a republic based on Islamic values and democracy.
Elsewhere in his remarks on Wednesday, Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi also said that the United States’ maximum pressure policy against the Islamic Republic has failed in the face of Iran’s maximum resistance campaign.
