TEHRAN – The government’s relations with top religious scholars does not end with formal meetings, said Mahmoud Vaezi, the presidential chief of staff.

Vazei made the remarks on Thursday after two days of meetings with the country’s top grand ayatollahs.

He noted that the Rouhani administration is seeking to improve its plans, policies and activities from the guidance it receives from ayatollahs. 

“This government belongs to the clergy and we aim to make it a source of pride for Islam and the clergy,” he added.
