¡¡TEHRAN, Aug. 6 (Xinhuanet) -- Iran's new president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Saturday that the priority of his government is to help solve difficulties of the youth.

    "I will do my best to help the youth of the country to solve the main problems confronting them, including the difficulties in employment, education and marriage," Ahmadinejad said in his inaugural speech after taking oath at a ceremony held in the Majlis (parliament) hall.

    That is the priority of his administration in the coming four years, he said.

    Ahmadinejad also vowed to improve people's standards of living and build a strong economy.

    The 49-year-old former Tehran mayor won a landslide election victory in June, replacing reformist cleric Mohammad Khatami who was unable to stand for a third term.

    Ahmadinejad faces an uphill task to revive the stagnant economy and solve the problems of high unemployment, corruption and a widening gap between the country's rich and the poor. Enditem
