TEHRAN -- The English language department of Iran´s Islamic Education 
radio station was launched here on Sunday.

Expediency Council member Seyyed Ahmad Khatami, manager of the 
Islamic Education radio station Mohammad-Hossein Mohammadzadeh, IRIB 
deputy manager Ali Darabi and several officials from the Qom Seminary 
attended the launching ceremony.

Khatami made an opening address, in which he said, "It is no exaggeration 
to say that our two radio stations, one of which is dedicated exclusively to 
the Holy Quran and the other to Islamic teachings, are the pride of this 
country and I must acknowledge that the great scholars of the Seminary at 
Qom have always praised them."

Ali Darabi also spoke at the ceremony, saying, "The Islamic Republic of Iran 
Broadcasting (IRIB) airs programs in 31 languages with the assistance of a 
great number of professional personnel. The countries with which we have 
signed contracts of bilateral collaboration also draw on the experience of 
these people."

Radio deputy manager Hassan Khojasteh, expressing his pleasure over the 
launching of the English department explained, "The world is in dire need of 
Islamic teachings to help people find the right path in life, so we must make 
use of this channel as a source of guidance."

He continued that the department commenced its work with three hours of 
programs in English covering various issues, adding, "Although digital 
technology is not yet being used in the production of programs in our 
Persian section, the programs in English are all being produced digitally."

Khojasteh concluded that the radio station is making use of local experts for 
writing and supervising the programs.
