Tehran, March 3, (IRNA) Majlis Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel said on Saturday that administrative skills should focus on the 20-Year Strategy Plan for Economic, Cultural and Social Development (2005-2025).

Speaking at a Conference on 'Prospects of the Strategy Plan in the Year 2025), Haddad Adel admitted that attaining the goals of the plan is not something which lies only on the shoulder of the government.

In the meantime, he expressed concern about absence of mechanisms in the administrative system to ensure that the goals of the Strategy Plan would be materialized.

"For example, currently, the next (Iranian) year's budget bill is being debated in Majlis. The question is that to what extent the bill has been correlated to Strategy Plan," Haddad Adel said.

The Majlis speaker said that implementation of Article 44 of the Constitution would be effective. So, the requirement for the progress and development of the nation is that both the 20-Year Strategy Plan and the Constitutional Article should be put into operation instead of remaining only on the papers.

He called for mechanisms to be devised to oblige managers to implement the programs and said that successful implementation of the long-term program needs coordination among the three branches of government.

He called on senior officials to mobilize resources of the nation for implementation of the development plans.
