NEW YORK, Feb 14 (Bernama-WAM) -- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday issued a message to the international community as the holy month of Ramadan approaches, emphasising that this sacred period is a time for reflection and prayer, embodying a noble vision of hope and peace, Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported.
In a message delivered by UN spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, Guterres noted that this vision remains elusive for far too many members of the human family, as suffering persists in numerous regions due to conflict, hunger, displacement and discrimination.
In these 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.
