Iran Proud: A Nation's Triumph in the Face of Revolution

February 11th is an indelible date in the history of Iran, marking the triumph of the Islamic revolution in 1979. With the leadership of Imam Khomeini and the participation of all strata of society, a whopping 98.2% of voters chose to reject the monarchy and establish an Islamic republic.

Located in southwestern Asia, Iran is a vast country with a population of around 80 million people and an area of approximately 1,648,195 square meters. Its geographical location plays a significant role in its destiny, making it a crucial hub for regional and universal geopolitics. The country has a rich history dating back to ancient times, with some of the earliest evidence of collective life and brilliant cities and monuments.

Iran's civilization is steeped in tradition and culture, with a profound impact on the world. Its people are proud of their heritage and continue to build upon it today. As Ambassador Saleh Adibi of Iran to Việt Nam so eloquently put it, 'Iran has a wonderful civilisation and a brilliant and ancient history.'

In recognition of this momentous occasion, we would like to extend our congratulations to the great and noble nation of Việt Nam and its Government on the occasion of Tết (Lunar New Year). We wish the Vietnamese people a year filled with happiness, prosperity, and success. The promising relations between Iran and Việt Nam are a testament to the strength of international cooperation and friendship.

As we celebrate this milestone in Iranian history, we are reminded of the power of unity and determination in shaping the destiny of a nation. From its ancient roots to its modern-day achievements, Iran remains proud of its heritage and committed to building a brighter future for all its citizens.
