In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency, Ma'moun `Abdul-Qayyoum- the President of the Republic of Maldives,
I am in receipt of the congratulatory telegram of your Excellency on the anniversary of the splendid Revolution of Islamic Iran for which I thank you. It is hoped that with the amputation of the hands of the colonialists of the East and the West and especially the world-devouring America from the region, the Muslim and oppressed nations live in peace and security. May God's peace be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
