Dear friends

TEXT OF MESSAGE FROM THE PRIME MINISTER, 10 DOWNING STREET, LONDON

The festival of Naw-Ruz is an important occasion in the Baha'I calendar and is a time both for celebration and reflection. The emphasis the Bahá'í community places on the importance of interfaith activities and tackling prejudice and bigotry demonstrates its commitment to the principle of equality for all - a conviction which is shared and actively pursued by this Government.

With all good wishes at this special time

[SIGNED] Tony Blair
