The text of Ayatollah Dr Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi’s message is as follows:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

Dear Dr Ghalibaf, Honourable Speaker, Honourable Members of the Board and Honourable Representatives of the Islamic Consultative Assembly

Thank you very much for your good faith in my proposed ministers. Your diligent efforts to review the qualifications of the members of the government are commendable, and the strong vote of the Islamic Consultative Assembly to the people's government will, God willing, be the beginning of sympathetic cooperation between the two branches to build a strong Iran.

Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi

President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
