Mr. [Hussein] Sadeghi, our ambassador to the United Arab Emirates [UAE], came and gave a report on the lack of progress in the issue of disputes with the UAE over the islands and requested that, like Saudi Arabia and Libya, family relations be established for reconciliation.

Mr. [Hussein] Sadeghi, our ambassador to the United Arab Emirates [UAE], came and gave a report on the lack of progress in the issue of disputes with the UAE over the islands and requested that, like Saudi Arabia and Libya, family relations be established for reconciliation. I said, in any case, our policy should be to continue the negotiations and not wait for the results. He asked me to help the country's problems and create economic security and informed that in the last one year, 700 Iranian companies have been registered in the UAE.

The organizers of the seminar of the youth council came to Sedavasima. Mr. [Hossein] Herati, [advisor to the head of the Radio and Television Organization on youth affairs], gave a report on the work and the axes of the goals, including education, employment, marriage and filling free time. I gave a speech and explained about the efforts made in this regard in the first and second programs and requested that the same measures be followed.

After the ceremony, Mr. [Ali] Larijani, [head of the Broadcasting Organization], came and complained that they had not reached a decision about Afghanistan in the Supreme National Security Council.

There are criticisms on the way the female newspaper works. In the evening, Mr. Karbaschi [Mayor of Tehran] came. He explained the feelings and support of the people after the trial and talked about the appeals court. He said, Mr. [Syed Ali Akbar] Mohtashmi will complain to Mr. Khatami for badmouthing [the party] agents. I also criticized the agents' inaction in defending construction against the ambiguities and distortions of the opponents. He wanted me to go and see the plan for the construction of a large canal to collect surface water in Tehran, which is being built with the help of the World Bank. Among the examples of people's criticism of the leadership, he said.

Mr. [Mohammed Ali] Shari came. While expressing concern about the situation of leadership and governorship, he asked me to help, especially in the elections of the Assembly of Experts. I gave examples of conservatives' false propaganda about leadership and...
