It is my hope that the independence of all nations, particularly the Islamic nations, to be always in your attention in the same way as you have expressed your wishes for the right of our nation's dominance and independence. Furthermore, you are expected to refrain from any type of intervention from any forces in the affairs of others. So that, all could take back their rights from the imperialists in the refuge of freedom and independence.
