In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency General Lansana Conte, President of Guinea,
The receipt of your congratulatory telegram on the arrival of the auspicious feast of Sacrifice is acknowledged with gratitude. Reciprocally, I extend my congratulations to Your Excellency and to the Muslim nation of your country on arrival of this great Islamic feast. It is hoped that from this feast of sacrifice and devotion, the Muslims of the world and their rulers would learn the lesson of sacrifice and selflessness for the sovereignty of the sacred doctrine of monotheism and the authentic Islam and that they could regain their lost glory. May peace be upon you.
