Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – September 4, 1991

I woke up early in the morning. I did the work and read the reports. The graduates of the University of Science and Technology came. Mr. [Abbas] Taib, the president of the university explained. I also spoke and praised their initiative, which has strengthened the relationship between the graduates and the university, and they also use their experiences.

Mr. [Hamid] Mirzadeh came for foreign affairs and [Azad Region] Kish. He expressed his satisfaction with the progress of water and electricity works in Kish. He complained about Qeshm's commercial competition with Kish. They have copied the desalination plant and made it with less than a third of the required foreign exchange, which can affect the southern coasts with this industry. It is said that the water produced by it costs 38 Tomans per liter.

[Mr. Sirajuddin Kazrouni], the Minister of Housing and Urban Development and the deputies came. They explained about the action plan to solve the housing problem; The main problem is money and materials, which can be solved. [Mr. Akbar Turkan], the Minister of Defense came and consulted for a trip to North Korea. He said that the Koreans are failing to fulfill their appointments. We decided to delay the delivery of oil until the reason is clarified.

At noon, we ate with the children who had come to visit their mother. In the evening, Dr. [Reza] Malekzadeh came to visit Eft.

I attended the meeting of the government. An action plan to solve the housing problem was in order; It remained unfinished. I stayed in my office at night because of boredom. Some of the children had dinner with us and left.
