Hoj Saeedreza Ameli, in a meeting with head of Iran’s Seminary Schools, Ayat E’rafi, noted that the slogan of this round of the congress was ‘Justice for all, Oppression for none’, stating: “We’ve selected a special title for each round so that the congress has more international influence”.

Saying that justice was a universal issue, he added: “Our approach is increasing national and international participation; therefore, we’ve held some preliminary sessions at home and abroad so far”.

The closing ceremony of the congress will be held on 13-14 May, 2024.  

Ayat E’rafi, for his part, welcomed the initiative, stressing: “Infrastructures for pilgrimage to Imam Reza shrine have to be strengthened globally. There are millions of Shias who haven’t been able to visit the shrine even once”.

Talking about the areas with good prospects for mutual cooperation to promote Imam Reza’s culture, head of Iran’s seminaries said: “Bosnia, Serbia and Southeast Asian countries should be taken into consideration”.
