Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – July 25, 1991

I reached my office at half past seven in the morning. By ten o'clock, the delayed works were done. Mr. [Syed Hasan] Tahri Khorramabadi, [representative of the religious jurist in Pakistan] came. He gave a report on the situation in Pakistan and suggested that it would be good to invest for the expenses of the Shiites there so that we can cover the expenses with the profit. I told them to think about using a joint weaving factory with Pakistan, which is currently stagnant. He appealed to Lorestan province for help. I said that I will provide the necessary assistance in my future trip to the province. He suggested a trip to Qom, and I said I would go.

Mr. [Sheikh Qadrat] Alikhani, the police inspector, came. He said something bad to the extreme radicals and praised the integration of the forces, but said that the low ranks of some committees should be compensated and asked for help for housing. The members of the women's cultural and social council came; I encouraged them. I gave a gift and promised more support.

I did the work in my office until five o'clock in the evening. Dr. [Ali Akbar] Velayti said, the French ambassador has informed that they have accepted the reciprocal letter of our foreign minister and the French foreign minister will come to Iran next week to complete the work. The Embassy of Switzerland, [protector of the interests of the United States], has brought a message from the United States for the issues of Afghanistan; I told them to send it.

In the news, the US military threat against Iraq is mentioned under the pretext of not providing the necessary information about the atomic and chemical facilities. I came home There were no children. I used the pool. I made dinner myself and ate alone.
