I went from home to the residence in Saadabad and we went to the airport with [Mr. Omar al-Bashir], the head of the Sudan Revolutionary Council. It was done in the way of more private negotiations.

I went from home to the residence in Saadabad and we went to the airport with [Mr. Omar al-Bashir], the head of the Sudan Revolutionary Council. It was done in the way of more private negotiations. He said he wants to go to Iraq in a few days and asked me to tell him if we have anything for Saddam. I said that due to the unfinished issue of prisoners, the necessary trust has not been created for us. I asked Sadiq al-Mahdi about his condition.

He said that he is under surveillance in a house, and some of his party members are fugitives, some are silent, and some are cooperating.

After the interview and official farewell, I went to my office at half past ten. I did the work. At half past four in the afternoon, we went to the Mehrabad airport to welcome [Mr. Shazli bin Jadib], the president of Algeria, who is coming from Iraq. It arrived an hour late. After the official welcome ceremony and a short interview of two people, we moved to my office.

On the way, private and secret talks were held. He said that in the last meeting that he had privately with Saddam moments before leaving Baghdad, he came to the conclusion that Saddam is ready to leave Kuwait, provided that the other side gives concessions. In his own words, "joint compromise" and said that after Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Oman and Egypt, he will go to Syria; He does not go to Saudi Arabia. Because the Saudis have not agreed to his trip and he believed that America has prevented the Saudis from accepting it.

Lady Elvorud, we had intensive negotiations in my office. They talked about the movement towards democracy in Algeria and the issues of the Arab Maghreb countries and their negotiations in Baghdad and Amman and inter-security cooperation. I went to Maghrib prayer and he went to a room to rest.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, we went to the leadership headquarters to meet him.

The negotiations were formal and general. They went to Saadabad residence and I joined later. We had a private negotiation session with the presence of a translator. He gave Saddam's message that he is determined to be friendly and cooperate with Iran and asked me to ask for an explanation if I have any doubts. He said that the Iraqis are ready for a "joint concession" with the US and the Kuwaitis, and they do not say this explicitly. It can be understood from their words. The possibilities of war and peace were discussed.

At the dinner table, in the presence of the delegation members, we talked casually; About gas and oil and industries. I came home late.
