Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said he has chosen his government's ministers following consultations with senior authorities. 

On August 11, almost two weeks after his swearing-in ceremony, Pezeshkian submitted a list of his ministerial picks to the Iranian parliament, which is expected to convene and take a vote of confidence for the 19 ministers on Wednesday, August 21. 

During a meeting with lawmakers on Monday night, Pezeshkian stressed the importance of strong collaboration between the administration and Parliament to resolve issues.

The president noted that every ministerial nominee has been selected only after consultations with the country’s top officials.

He mentioned that his new administration has fulfilled its promise of "national consensus" and is now looking for lawmakers to show their support by approving his cabinet.

Pezeshkian added that the administration's primary focus is to bridge the gap between the government and the people, aiming to ensure the satisfaction of the Iranian populace.

Pezeshkian says proposed 'national consensus' government to parliament

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that his recent cabinet line-up represents all the Iranian people, describing it as a "national consensus government" during a parliamentary session on Saturday.

"The government that has been introduced to the parliament today is a government of national consensus, and as I said in the inauguration ceremony, the government of national consensus considers itself as representative of all the Iranian people," Pezeshkian said while vetting his list of ministerial nominees. 

"The national consensus government is obliged to ensure the citizenship rights of all Iranian people and is committed to securing national interests," he added.

The newly-inaugurated President highlighted the pillars to ensure the convergence between the government and other power branches of the political system through abiding by the constitution, achieving the objectives of the Vision Plan as outlined by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, and implementing the 7th Development Plan. 

Pezeshkian also emphasized that the system's current policies and measures will not be able to solve Iran's ongoing problems, asserting that the people's satisfaction with his administration's plans is important to him. 

He added that some of the country's issues stem from inside the country rather than from outside; i.e. from foreign powers.
