"In addition to producing textbooks, training instructors, and offering virtual education, it is essential to establish an online club for communication and experience-sharing among Persian learners worldwide, so that they can write, listen, and share their experiences in Persian."

Seyyed Ali Mousavizadeh, the International Affairs Deputy of the Saadi Foundation, also expressed satisfaction with the enthusiasm of participants and announced the development of 40 textbooks across various proficiency levels and the standardization of Persian language teaching at the Foundation. He also provided explanations regarding the Foundation’s international activities.

Later in the program, Ahmad Ramazani, Deputy of Education and Research at the Saadi Foundation, outlined the achievements and upcoming plans, highlighting the Foundation’s efforts to expand multimedia resources in the field of Persian language education. He also answered the learners’ questions.

Additionally, Ali Ramezani, director of the Tehran Book Garden, congratulated the audience on the National Day of Books and Reading and introduced the complex as a cultural, literary, artistic, and scientific center. He expressed hope that Persian learners would have a pleasant experience visiting the venue.

The campaign aimed to promote a culture of reading and strengthen the connection of Persian learners worldwide with the Persian language and Iranian culture. Learners from 13 countries—including Tajikistan, India, China, Turkey, Russia, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Kenya, Armenia, and Iraq—took part in the event. Participants had submitted more than 120 photos of themselves alongside Persian-language textbooks published by the Saadi Foundation.
