Message of Greeting from the Federal Foreign Minister Westerwelle on the occasion of Eid ul-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan 1431 H./2010, on 9 September 2010
I wish all our Muslim fellow citizens in Germany, and indeed all our Muslim friends and their families across the world, a happy Eid ul-Fitr!
Today our thoughts are also with those who in these past weeks and months have been struck by disasters and who are unable to celebrate at home with their families.
I pay tribute to all those committed to fostering mutual respect and understanding among religions and cultures. You are building a world in which everyone treats each other with respect and trust and act as important bridges between our cultures. We want to continue to nurture and expand our partnership.
Happy holidays to you all!
(sgd) Guido Westerwelle
