Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – June 30, 1991

The work was done until nine o'clock in the morning. The President of Comoros and his companions came for official negotiations. We had some private negotiations; They explained their economic situation and asked for help, saying that in the past, Kuwait used to provide cheap oil and supported their lives from its income. They asked us to act in their place. Then we had official negotiations which were ceremonial. They went to the residence.

Mr. Nourbakhsh and [Syed Hossein] Mousavian came. They gave the description of the negotiation with the Minister of Economy of Germany that they have officially announced that they are not ready to complete the Bushehr nuclear power plant and they are not ready to complete the Karaj chemical plant either. The Hermes insurance cover has been removed and the submarine case has gone to court.

Then I had a meeting with [Mr. Jürgen Mollemann], the Minister of Economy of Germany, in which I emphasized the needs of nuclear energy and told them to find a solution in negotiations, and I criticized the unilateral decision of the Germans; Of course, if they cause damage and do not prevent completion by others, it is acceptable.

In the evening, I attended the meeting of the government. The statutes of the Sistan Regional Development Organization were approved. At night, we were the guests of Ayatollah Khamenei. Yesterday's decisions of the Supreme National Security Council regarding [members] of the Arab people and issues of assistance to the liberation movements and the current issues of the country were discussed. I arrived home late.
