At noon, Dr. [Ahad] Milani-Nia came to visit Effat, who had been ill for several days. He reduced her fever by administering a penicillin injection. In the afternoon, a large number of relatives came for New Year visits. Fati gave an account of her trip to Mecca; she criticized Mr. [Ali] Jannati, our ambassador to Kuwait, for not taking the visa arrangements for Saudi Arabia seriously enough. Mr. [Mohammad Sharif] Mahdavi also gave an account of the lack of coordination among the deputy departments of the Foreign Ministry.
In the reports, the issues concerning Kosovo and Serbia remain at the top of the news. The announcement was made that Iran had sent humanitarian aid for the Muslim refugees. The approaching deadline for the handover of the two Libyan suspects to the court in The Hague, after years of Libyan resistance and sanctions, is also receiving attention. Riots and conflicts from the island of Brunei to Indonesia, with repeated clashes between Christians and Muslims, have resulted in numerous casualties.
