Strengthening social capital is the way to increase Iran's penetration and authority in the international arena.
Hojtal-e-Islam Wal-Muslimin Emad, adviser to President Rouhani, in an interview with IRNA:
🔹 As Iran's social capital increases, Iran's stability and the stability of Iranian culture will increase, and Iran's infiltration, power and authority will increase in the domestic and international arena.
Some of the indicators also worry us, but when we compare them to the international situation, we see that we are not far from the global average. For example, in the index of hope, sense of dependence, identity and indicators of culture, we sometimes see that there are decreases compared to a few years ago.
If we compare these indices to the international average, we may still be at a higher level than the average, but this issue should not mislead us into imagining that because we are higher than the international average in many of these indices, then we have the best and most satisfactory situation. In my opinion, wherever there was a decline, it should be rooted out and work to improve it.
