In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Mr. Premadasa, President of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka,
The receipt of Your Excellency's congratulatory message on the occasion of the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution is acknowledged with gratitude. I beseech God, the Exalted, to grant victory to the deprived and downtrodden nations over imperialists and arrogant powers.
