Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – June 26, 1990

I reached my office at half past seven. I dealt with the affairs of earthquake victims; Things are going well. The state of internal and external aid is very good. Mr. [Hossein] Mahloji, [Minister of Mines and Metals] and the deputies came. They gave a report on the status of Mubarake Steel and the reason for the increase in the cost of the project. They talked about [investment in] Qeshm and the private sector.

Mr. [Seydmansour] Razavi came for administrative and employment issues and presented his reform plans. Mr. Abdullah Nouri, [Minister of the Interior] came and told his plans and ideas for the affairs of the earthquake victims. It is good and effective. He complained about the harassment of some representatives.

Yaser came for the topic of the Warriors Training Complex. [Mr. Tumano], the special envoy of Mrs. Corazon Aquino, the President of the Philippines, came. He brought his written message and gave explanations about the problems of Muslims in the south of the Philippines and the issue of their autonomy, and asked for support for the government's plan on the issue of autonomy; Because the issue was not clear to me and I knew that some Muslims were against this plan, I did not confirm it and spoke in general terms.

In the evening, the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution had a meeting. The discussion was about the statutes of leadership representatives in universities. The presidents of Ahvaz and Al-Zahra universities were also approved. I stayed in my office at night.
