His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, congratulated the people around the world celebrating Nowruz.
Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed said, “I extend my sincere best wishes to all those celebrating Nowruz, both in the UAE and around the world, and hope that the year ahead is one of peace and prosperity for you and your families.”
Globally, some 300 million people will wish each other "Happy New Year" (Nowruz mobarak) including in Iran, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan and among Kurds in Turkey, Iraq, Syria and elsewhere.
Celebrated for 3,000 years, Nowruz marks a two-week break when Iranians travel within the country or, for the more fortunate, abroad.
