________________________________________
I am delighted to send best wishes to all those celebrating the festival of Nowruz. For over 3,000 years, Nowruz has been a time of hope for millions of people around the world. The spirit of compassion, family, and renewal is deeply woven throughout all of the rich cultural traditions of Nowruz, and reminds us of our shared commitment to a better world.
The people of the United States join you in
welcoming the opportunities of this new year and the
possibilities for strengthening ties of family and friends.
And as we face new challenges, we remain committed to our
support for universal human rights and the freedom of
expression -- rights that promote peace and progress. May
your Nowruz be glorious, and all your days be
Nowruz.
