I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Muslims in Kurdistan, Iraq, and around the globe as we welcome the holy month of Ramadan. My wish is for this sacred month to bring about tranquility and solace, and to bring blessings, joy, and harmony to all.

May the return of Ramadan and its teachings, principles, and significance serve as an opportunity and motivation for us all to foster greater unity and acceptance, and to work together to promote goodwill and uphold peace, prosperity, and humanity’s noble values.

May the Almighty safeguard our people and nation, and may He accept the fasting and prayers of each and everyone.
