To the Pakistani people who are celebrating the Nowroz, and the Afghan, Iranian Diasporas living in Pakistan, we, the US CENTCOM - Digital Engagement Team, would like to wish you a very Happy Nowroz. It is great to witness diplomats from Iran and Afghanistan attending the Nowroz ceremony, and sharing the importance of the cultural festival, at Quaid-e-Azam University. Following the historic theme of what this day of Nowroz represents, we hope that this spring may bring peace, harmony and progress in the entire region.
