In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Mr. Jayewardene, President of the Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka,
Your Excellency's congratulatory message on the occasion of the 9 th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution of Iran is acknowledged with gratitude. This great Islamic revolution which has conduced for the defense of the sacred religion of Islam and emerged victorious thanks to reliance on God and sacrifices and devotion of the noble nation of Iran can be the best model for the movements of the deprived and oppressed nations of the world against the domineering powers of the East and the West. It is hoped that by taking inspiration from the method of struggle of the great nation of Iran deprived people could deliver themselves.
