Ali Larijani outlined his priorities in the new post as Majlis speaker on Sunday.
Talking to reporters after his first parliamentary session as speaker, Larijani said he will determine novel methods to reinforce the parliamentŐs supervisory role and devise a mechanism to resolve differences between the legislature and other power branches, IRNA reported.
The speaker expressed his firm determination to urgently follow up the peopleŐs problems and avoid wasting the parliamentŐs time with unnecessary issues.
ŇWe are looking for ways to more practically supervise national affairs and devise a mechanism to resolve differences between the Majlis and other branches,Ó he said.
Larijani, who is also a former top nuclear negotiator, expressed hope that Majlis commissions would be established sooner, adding that until then MPs will meet with government and other state bodies to resolve problems facing the country.
Referring to the Majlis schemes for the large youth population, the speaker said youths face many problems such as unemployment, delayed marriage as well as cultural and recreational demands which should be addressed.
Majlis on Sunday officially elected Larijani as the parliament speaker for a one-year term.
After approving the remaining 256 letters of credentials issued by the Guardians Council, the eighth parliament voted for the speakerŐs post in its fourth open session.
During the Majlis session, Ali Ardeshir Larijani, a lawmaker from the Qom constituency, received 237 votes out of 259 cast in the 290-member legislature.
He has formerly held other prominent posts, including secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, the countryŐs top nuclear negotiator, head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting and minister of culture and Islamic guidance. He also ran for president in the ninth presidential contest in 2005, which he lost.
Of the 290 seats in IranŐs eighth Majlis, 227 are held by conservatives and the rest by reformists and independents. Elections for the current Majlis were held on March 14.
Referring to nuclear issues, Larijani said certain aspects of the misleading report of the agency will harm both Iran and IAEA.
He said Iran has been warning the IAEA inspectors about the false feeding of information by US and Israeli intelligence services, Ňbut they kept getting the wrong information and we used to clarify everything according to the law.Ó
ŇIran does not like this to happen and will devise another solution,Ó he said.
