Dear President of the Republic of Tajikistan!

I cordially congratulate Your Excellency, your esteemed family and dear people of your country with the coming of the joyous Navruz, the revival of nature and the earth, as well as on the advent of the year 1401 according to the Hijri solar calendar.

Nowruz is a symbol and crystallisation of a value-oriented civilization.

Contemplating the greatness of creation and paying attention to the transformation of nature is the source of awakening of the heart and the means.

I hope that in the new century, the movement towards the sublime divine and human values will accelerate and, like Navruz, a happier day will come for the hearts and souls of all the people of that land and more empathy and peace for all regional nations.

The Islamic Republic of Iran considers the strengthening and expansion of this cultural solidarity as a promise of peace for all the countries of the region and the world, and in this regard, extends a friendly hand to all countries.

I ask the Almighty for health and success for His Excellency, and for friendly and fraternal Tajikistan — happiness and pride. I wish you a new year filled with goodness and grace».
