[At 9:00 am on May 18,1979, the new ambassador of Bangladesh accompanied by some embassy officials in Tehran, called on Imam Khomeini and submitted the congratulatory message of the Bangladeshi president to the Imam. Imam Khomeini thanked them and said:]
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
I would like the Islamic nations and governments to become closer to each other.
[The Bangladeshi ambassador asked Imam Khomeini to dispatch an envoy to Bangladesh to discuss the Muslims situation of that country, according to the profound relations between the two nations, and brief Imam on the result. Imam Khomeini said:]
The envoy will be dispatched at the proper time. Express my greetings to the Bangladeshi nation and government.
