Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – March 2, 1992

I was in my office at quarter past seven. By eight o'clock in the morning, the remaining works were completed. I went to the meeting of the assembly of experts. We worked until noon; with a short breath. It was decided that from now on, the minimum duration of annual meetings will be two days; Previously, it was five days that surgery was not usually done.

I did office work until four o'clock in the afternoon. I went to the leader's office to attend the meeting of Mr. Sam Najoma. It was difficult for him to sit on the ground, and when he sat down, he stretched out one of his legs. They had short talks.

Then he left and I had discussions with Ayatollah Khamenei about the meeting of experts and music issues. It was decided to prepare a room with a chair in the office of the leadership so that problems like today's will not arise in foreign meetings. The members of the council of experts came to meet the leadership. Mr. Meshkini and Ayatollah Khamenei had a short talk; They did not have any important content.

I went to my office and did the work. Dr. [Mustafa] Moin, [Minister of Culture and Higher Education], complained by phone about the way students and some professors of Khwaja Nasir Tusi University dealt with the new president and sought a solution.

We went to the airport to see off the President of Namibia. An interview was conducted and after signing and exchanging agreements and an official farewell, they flew to India on our plane. I came home from the airport. Because of the exhibition, the streets were crowded.
