Dhaka, Mar 21 (UNB) - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has offered best wishes to all who are marking the International Day of Nowruz being celebrated in a spirit of “friendship, reconciliation and harmony” on Thursday.
“May the Nowruz holiday serve as an inspiration to us all,” said the UN chief in a message marking the day.
For more than 300 million people across the world, Nowruz is about new beginnings: the arrival of a new year; the first day of spring; the renewal of nature.
“For all of us, it is a chance to reaffirm our commitment to peace, human rights and human dignity; to fostering dialogue and mutual respect; to protecting the planet and building a future that leaves no one behind,” he said.
