His Excellency Mr. Jaywardane, President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka

I received the congratulatory message of His Excellency on the fourth anniversary of the Islamic Revolution and in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran for which I thank you. I am optimistic that the genuine Islamic Revolution that has been the fruit of the revolt of the deprived masses of the Muslims of Iran will be a model for the rest of the deprived and oppressed Muslim nations and they liberate themselves from the domination of the enemies of Islam and their handpicked stooges. May God's peace be upon you.
