TEHRAN - The chairman of the Majlis Youth Cultural Commission, Ahmad Pournejati, said the problems of the country's youth are to be tackled by the commission more seriously.

Unfortunately, he said, programming to meet young people's cultural needs are assessed on current input of services and their effects, while new needs require programming from a totally different perspective.

He said the problem needs to be viewed from new perspectives in order to arrive at practical measures to solve the problem.

Pournejati, who expressed appreciation for the activities that have been carried out so far by the National Youth Organization, said the results of research conducted by this organization would be applied.

He also said the Majlis Cultural Commission will consider the suggestions of researchers in framing pertinent policy and called on executive institutions of government to vigorously pay attention to applying their suggestions throughout the entire country.

He said Majlis pays serious attention to the problems of the youth that are numerous. But, he added, authorities have different views on these problems as they are not fully cognizant of current issues.

Pournejati pointed out that the members of the cultural commission are determined to work out practical and speedy solutions.
