UN Secretary-General extends greetings for Eid Al Adha
“Eid Al Adha is a celebration of sacrifice for the common good, family and community, and compassion and solidarity with the least amongst us,” said Ban in a video message for the occasion.
“At a time when societies face complex challenges – violent conflict, displacement, division – let us draw on our common humanity to build a better world for all,” he added.
Similarly, in a separate message, Tadamichi Yamamoto, Secretary-General's Special Representative for Afghanistan and the head of the UN mission in the country (UNAMA) also extended his best wishes on the occasion.
“Eid Al Adha is a time of peace, which Afghans richly deserve,” said Yamamoto, in a news release issued yesterday by the Mission.
“The UN remains a committed partner and supporter of Afghans in their efforts to achieve stability, prosperity and a lasting peace,” he noted, expressing hope that all Afghans will be able to celebrate the occasion with family and friends.
