UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a message to the international community on Friday, as the holy month of Ramadan approaches, emphasising that the sacred period is a time for reflection and prayer, embodying a vision of hope and peace.
In a message delivered by his spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, Guterres noted that the vision remains elusive for far too many members of the human family, as suffering persists in numerous regions globally due to conflict, hunger, displacement, and discrimination.
In troubled and divided times, the Secretary-General called upon all to heed the timeless message of Ramadan by bridging divisions, providing aid and hope to those in need, and protecting the rights and dignity of every human being.
