Ceaușescu had a mixed reputation among international leaders of his time. In his memoir "The Artful Albanian", Albanian leader Enver Hoxha remarked "As if Ceausescu and company are to bring down imperialism! If the world waits for the Ceausescus to do such a thing, imperialism will live for tens of thousands of years..." According to Pacepa, Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi had an opposite interpretation, allegedly saying, "My brother! You are my brother for the rest of my life!". Ceaușescu even received praise from anti-communists with the leader of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi saying "I would like to salute [Ceaușescu's] intransigent patriotism and ferocious will for independence. A veritable amity links me to him."
