Kermanshah – The Deputy Governor for Political, Security and Social Affairs of Kermanshah Province emphasized the promotion of a culture of sacrifice, the strengthening of national solidarity, and the adaptation of public spaces to ensure safe mobility for veterans.

Kermanshah - Political, security and social deputy of the governor of Kermanshah stressed on promoting the culture of self-sacrifice, strengthening national solidarity and making public spaces suitable for the safe movement of veterans.

According to Mehr reporter, on Wednesday evening, the honoring ceremony of 33 visionary veterans of Kermanshah province was held on the occasion of International White Cane Day with the presence of a group of officials and senior commanders of the province at Kosar Hall of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs Foundation.

Bahram Soleimani, the political, security and social deputy of Kermanshah governor, expressed his gratitude to Basir veterans and their families in this ceremony: the culture of sacrifice and martyrdom is not only a reminder of past events, but a support for the deterrence power of the country and an essential factor in maintaining national cohesion and stability.

Referring to the symmetry of the International White Cane Day, he added: "The white cane in the hands of these people is a symbol of dignity, honor and standing, and its connection with the culture of sacrifice finds a meaning beyond a social occasion."

The Political, Security and Social Vice Governor of Kermanshah also appreciated the role of the families of veterans, especially their wives, mothers and children, and said: Caring for and accompanying veterans requires continuous patience and sacrifice, and the society and officials should appreciate these lasting efforts.

Pointing to the place of Kermanshah in the history of the country's defense and resistance, Soleimani said: This province has played an important role in the country's stability at different historical times, especially during the sacred defense period. According to him, the beginning of the war in the border areas of Qasrshirin and Naftshahr and its end with the Mersad operation in the same province is part of Kermanshah's historical record in defending the country.

He continued: stable security, booming border exchanges and hosting more than 60% of Hosseini Arbaeen pilgrims are among the capabilities that, according to him, are linked to the sacrifices of the martyrs and the efforts of the defenders of the country.

The political, security and social deputy of Kermanshah governor emphasized the need to spread the culture of sacrifice and martyrdom in the current situation and stated: maintaining national unity and solidarity and paying attention to the leadership's guidelines are important issues in facing political threats and cognitive warfare. He added: Strengthening public cohesion can act as a deterrent against divisive efforts.

In another part of his speech, Soleimani considered the honoring of veterans and people with disabilities to be more than holding ceremonies and symbolic acknowledgments and said: mayors and managers of executive bodies should follow the adaptation of sidewalks, offices, bank branches and public transportation fleet for the safe and independent movement of these people in an operational manner.

He also considered it necessary to reduce administrative bureaucracy in providing support services, improve medical services and provide continuous rehabilitation equipment, especially for veterans with spinal cord and vision injuries, and emphasized on using the experience and views of veterans in the decision-making processes of the province.

At the end of this ceremony, Basir veterans of Kermanshah province were honored with certificates of appreciation and gifts.
