Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – October 19, 1994

First, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and his wife came to say goodbye. We negotiated a bit about summarizing the agreements. I also greeted his wife; A woman is like the wife of the Sultan of Brunei. I invited them to Iran.

We went to the king's palace for the farewell ceremony. As usual, we talked a little. Chastity and Ali were with me. The ceremony was held with a guard of honor and music. We went to the airport. They were disorderly at the airport. We and the women were assigned a place to sit. Then we moved. Our flight was delayed due to the indiscipline of the guards, delaying the delivery of cargo.

We made an agreement with the Minister of Foreign Affairs to establish Persian and Malay language chairs in the two countries. We flew to Tehran at a quarter to eleven in the morning Malaysian time. On the way, we rested and discussed domestic and international issues, the fight against overselling, and summarizing travel issues.

We landed in Mehrabad around two o'clock in the afternoon Tehran time. An official reception was held. After the interview about the trip, we headed home. I told the accompanying ministers to go to the government delegation and give a trip report. At the airport, they were happy about the success of the program to fight against high prices and cheapening of many goods. Chastity had arrived home before me; He is satisfied with his trip.
