Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – December 21, 1991

Dr. Velayati and Jami from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Red Crescent and the Secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council came. They gave a report on the implementation of the resolution that led to the declaration of Iraq as an aggressor. I thanked them. It was decided to follow up with the other party to get damages through the UN Security Council.

The oil minister came. The report of the technical group sent to Sudan gave an opinion that we can follow the work of the American companies that they have abandoned to exploit Sudan's oil. I told them to take action and follow the sale of oil to Sudan in a risk-free manner. They also reported on petrochemicals, gas and kerosene.

Mr. [Shakrullah] Riyazi, [President's representative in the Defense Ministry's Military Procurement Commission] came. He asked for permission to travel to China and gave a report on military purchases. Dr. Malekzadeh came to ask for an opinion on the appointment of the head of social security and asked for an ambulance.

I did things in my office till night. The Supreme Security Council was meeting, we decided to celebrate the victory and announce the end of the war, and to take the necessary actions through the Secretary General and the Security Council to recover the war damages, and to recognize the independent republics of the Soviet Union.

In today's news, the formation of the Commonwealth of Independent Former Soviet Republics from 11 republics and the announcement of the dissolution of the Soviet Union are at the top and important. The children had bought watermelons for Yalda night; It was not bad.
