Your Excellency Mr. Ma'moun `Abdul-Qayyoum, President of the Maldives,

I acknowledge the receipt of your message of congratulation on the occasion of fifth anniversary of the Islamic Revolution of Iran with gratitude. It is hoped that this noble Islamic Revolution will initiate a movement in other Islamic nations that are under the domination of colonialists and their puppet governments, so that they can, with divine favors, liberate themselves as soon as possible. May God's peace and mercy be upon you!

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
