His Excellency Mr. Shaykh Za'id Bin Sultan Al-e Nahyan, Head of State of the United Arab Emirates,
The receipt of your congratulatory telegram on the coming 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 for arrival of this great Islamic feast.
