They made sacrifices so that we could develop and prosper the land they defended with their lives and have the opportunity to serve.<\/p>\n<p>The Secretary-General of the Iranian National Commission for UNESCO also expressed hope that, through the blessings of the prayers and pure spirits of the martyrs, we would be able to bring peace to Iran, so that, in an environment of peace, the talents of our young people could increasingly flourish and reach their full potential.<\/p>\n<p>The Mayor of Arak also stated at the ceremony: \u201cThe city of Arak has offered many martyrs to the country and the Revolution, most of whom were young people from this land.\u201d He added: \u201cThe Arak Municipality has organized various programmes to commemorate the memory and legacy of the martyrs, and this path continues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Official Inauguration of the Secretariat of the Committee for Public Participation and Social Responsibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38319\" src=\"https:\/\/unesco.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250430_195423.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unesco.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250430_195423.jpg 840w, https:\/\/unesco.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250430_195423-280x300.jpg 280w, https:\/\/unesco.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20250430_195423-768x822.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In his speech at the official inauguration ceremony of the Secretariat of the Committee for Public Participation and Social Responsibility, held at the Arak City Cultural Centre in the presence of provincial officials and authorities from Markazi Province, city officials and members of the media, the Secretary-General of the Iranian National Commission for UNESCO thanked the provincial and city authorities of Arak for hosting the event and stated: \u201cThis inauguration can mark a new beginning for cooperation and synergies among Asian cities. This initiative will not only help strengthen social and cultural relations at the regional level, but will also provide an opportunity to improve international relations.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Arak\u2019s Strategic Position: Key to Advancing Regional and Asian Objectives<\/h3>\n<p>He also noted that the city of Arak had previously been recognized as one of UNESCO\u2019s Learning Cities, but was removed from the network during a period due to insufficient attention from some officials. Referring to the city\u2019s strategic position and distinctive characteristics, Dr. Fartousi added: \u201cWith its numerous educational and cultural capacities, the city of Arak and Markazi Province can serve as a model for other Asian cities. This model is rooted in Arak\u2019s long-standing history, which has, since ancient times, been influenced by governmental bureaucracy, as well as the Si\u0101q script and language. This rich history, which stems from the efforts and dedication of our ancestors, must also remain in the minds of today\u2019s young people. Therefore, Arak and Markazi Province not only have the potential to be recognized as a Child-Friendly City, but can also be recognized as an Age-Friendly City.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Arak Secretariat of the Committee for Public Participation: A Major Step towards Strengthening International Interactions<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Alireza Mahmoudi, Mayor of Arak, referring to Arak\u2019s distinctive capacities in the areas of social and public responsibility, stated at the ceremony: \u201cArak holds a distinguished position and standing in this field, and for this reason, we are proud that the Secretariat of the Committee for Public Participation and Social Responsibility of Asian Cities has been entrusted to this city.\u201d He continued: \u201cWe hope that, through international cooperation in this field, Arak will be able to demonstrate a distinguished profile at the Asian level in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the inauguration ceremony of the Secretariat of the Committee for Public Participation and Social Responsibility of Asian Cities, Mahmoudi also emphasized the spiritual significance of the project. He stated: \u201cThe inauguration of this Secretariat goes beyond its physical and material aspects. Its objective is to introduce the spiritual and hidden dimensions of the city that have so far been overlooked at the national level.\u201d Mahmoudi added that the Arak Municipality has assumed responsibility for this undertaking and expressed hope that this opportunity would be used to showcase the historical and scientific dimensions of Arak to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Mehdi Zandieh-Vakili, Governor-General of Markazi Province, also noted in his speech that the establishment of the Secretariat of the Committee for Public Participation in Arak represents a major step towards strengthening international interactions and exchanging successful experiences in the social and cultural spheres. He also emphasized the need to pay greater attention to social responsibility as part of efforts towards sustainable development and improving people\u2019s living conditions across Asian cities.<\/p>\n<p>According to Zandieh-Vakili, the Secretariat of the Committee for Public Participation and Social Responsibility of Asian Cities seeks to draw on the successful experiences of other countries and cities to promote public participation in matters concerning the city of Arak. He emphasized: \u201cThe establishment of this Secretariat in Arak is a major step towards fostering two-way interaction between the public and productive institutions and, through promotional and incentive mechanisms, will strengthen a culture of public demand and participation.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Effective Role of the Secretary of the Committee for Public Participation in Information Exchange and Strengthening Cultural Diplomacy<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Mehdi Fallahi-Panah, Director of the Committees of the Asian Mayors Forum, emphasized the importance of multilateral cooperation among Asian cities in his speech, stating: \u201cThe purpose of selecting Arak as the Secretariat of the Committee for Public Participation and Social Responsibility is to enable the city to play a central role in expanding relations and sharing experiences at the international level.\u201d He added: \u201cToday, cities are recognized as international institutions, and their presence in global forums is essential. The inauguration of this Secretariat has been undertaken with the aim of strengthening cultural diplomacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fallahi-Panah also highlighted the important role of city diplomacy and the assumption of international responsibilities by Iranian cities, stating that through the establishment of global relations and multiple memoranda of understanding, it would be possible to promote urban development initiatives and advance the objectives of the Forum. He concluded by emphasizing that all of Arak\u2019s capacities would be utilized to advance the objectives of the Forum.<\/p>\n<p>During the ceremony, Mr. Mohammad Asgari, Chairman of the Arak City Council, described the selection of Arak as a designated platform for establishing the Secretariat of the Committee for Public Participation as a positive development that could create an opportunity to address environmental, cultural and social issues and foster public interaction.<\/p>\n<p>Programs including traditional storytelling, traditional music performances and an exhibition of handicrafts were among the other parts of the ceremony, which were warmly welcomed by those in attendance.
