In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Leonid Brezhnev, Head of the Union of Soviet socialist Republics,
With thanks for the Message of congratulations of your Excellency on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Islamic Revolution to the noble nation of Iran, I would like to express our attention and attachment to the friendly nation of the Soviet Union. We hope that the world peace may get established on the basis of the nation's independence, non-intervention into each other's affairs, and confirmation to the principle of preservation of the third world and these of Islamic ones particularly in this region is against the acknowledged standards. There should be right fundamentals in between the nations.
