Ahmadinejad made the remark in a special ceremony to launch an electronic communications system which bridges the gap between people and government in East Azarbaijan province.



The president, accompanied by his cabinet members, arrived in the northwestern city Tabriz on Wednesday on his 48th provincial tour.



Communication between people and officials in an Islamic government has roots in religious beliefs, the president said.



He said that the people put forward their views and opinions and this is the responsibility of officials to listen to people and help resolve their problems, he said.



The system will provide a suitable opportunity for people to easily get access to the country's officials, he said.



"I hope this would lead to a broad-based communication and interaction between the nation and the government in all fields."
