His Eminence John Paul II,

Leader of the World Catholics,

Rome

I acknowledge the receipt of Your Eminence's telegraphic congratulatory message on the occasion of the 2 nd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution of the great Iranian nation and thank you for the same. I hope that all the oppressed nations of the world can regain their true independence through their faith and reliance upon God Almighty and succeed in gaining victory over the arrogant powers.
