Message [Reply to a telegram of congratulations on the anniversary of the establishment of the Islamic Republic]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency Mr. Gustav Hosak, President of the Republic of Czechoslovakia,

I acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's telegram of congratulations on the establishment anniversary of the Islamic Republic of Iran. I appreciate your expression of affection on the occasion and beseech God Almighty to grant victory to the oppressed peoples of the world over the colonialists, particularly the criminal US.
