In this ceremony, Mohammad Kabiri, referring to the hopeful teachings of Hafez's ghazals, said: we learn from Hafez that hard times pass and we must not forget to live amid difficulties. Hafez's poems remind us that even in hard days we should be hopeful and keep our gaze toward the future.

In the final part of the ceremony, outstanding students of the Kish schools' Hafez-recitation competitions at various educational levels were honored. The CEO's visit to the exhibition of artworks and handicrafts set up on the sidelines of the ceremony was another part of the event.
