Furthermore, now is the time to fulfil our shared obligation to provide aid to those in need, including those affected by poverty, persecution, conflict, and natural disasters "Blinken stated that Muslims all over the world will observe this month by performing deeds of service in their neighbourhoods.

In keeping with this, several of our embassies and consulates overseas will hold iftars and other occasions to celebrate the lovely traditions of the month and show our dedication to fostering social cohesion, inclusiveness, and diversity in our communities "added Blinken. "These discussions reinforce our common desire for universal peace and human dignity, the speaker said.
