In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency General Hafiz Asad, President of Syria,
Your congratulations Message on the occasion of New Year and the first anniversary of the Islamic Republic of Iran was received with thanks. I hope that all the oppressed nations of the world particularly the Islamic nations raise up against the imperialist superpowers and their dominance, in particular, the world-hungry America and purge their countries from their existence by unity and co-existence and overlooking the in-between differences. As such they may gain their real independence. I pray to God for the prosperity of all towards reaching this sacred goal.
