The text of Dr. Donyamali’s message is as follows:
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Dear Mrs. Zahra Nemati,
Honored Lady and Pride of Iranian Sports,
Receiving the prestigious title of “Best Official of Asia” from the Asian Paralympic Committee is a clear symbol of the progress of women’s sports in Islamic Iran and a shining testament to the cultural and value-based foundation enabling the dignified presence of women on the global stage. This success adds another golden chapter to your distinguished personal record and that of our country’s sports.
As one of the few athletes in the world who has had a powerful and successful presence both in the Paralympics and the Olympics, you have once again demonstrated that Iranian women can cross the boundaries of capability and reach pinnacles of honor with dignity, chastity, and strength.
This valuable achievement, following the selection of the Iranian National Paralympic Committee as the “Best Committee in Women’s Sports Development” by the International Paralympic Committee, reflects the growth, influence, and unparalleled role of the women of this land on international arenas.
On behalf of the large family of sports and youth in Iran, I sincerely congratulate you on this success and pray for your continued brilliance and increasing achievements from the Almighty.
