In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Programs of the Islamic government
I thank the people and the government and the delegation that has come from there. I pray to God for the happiness of all.
The movement in Iran is an Islamic movement. An Islamic movement is a humanitarian movement such that if the mankind is able to comprehend the depths of it, then all will be in favor of it except those who are removed from humanity.
The program of the Islamic government is that all mankind should achieve happiness; and should live beside each other in peace and welfare. Islam wants to be friends with all the countries that are there in the world; the Islamic government wants to have understanding and proper relations with all nations and with all governments provided that they have mutual respect for the Islamic government.
The program of the Islamic Republic is that a government should come into being that behaves in a just manner with all strata of the nation and grants no distinction between the various strata except for the humane distinctions that they themselves possess. If we succeed to implement an Islamic Republic with elements of Islam and establish an Islamic government in Iran in its true sense, it will become a role model for all countries that wish, God willing, to implement democracy in its true sense and not lacking in truth, and realize the meaning of freedom in its true sense and not in the context of deception of others.
We hope to conduct our relations with all nations and governments on the basis of good neighborliness, goodwill, good conduct and good communications; and our government has mutually good relations with all governments. I implore God for the health and prosperity of all mankind and all the oppressed peoples.
May God's peace, mercy and blessing be upon you.
