On behalf of the Regional Research Centre for Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage in West and Central Asia, under the auspices of UNESCO (Tehran ICH Centre), I would like to extend my heartfelt wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
In a world that needs peace and unity more than ever before, may the spirit of Christmas and the New Year inspire nations with harmony, goodwill, and mutual understanding.
It would be our honour to cherish and protect our diverse cultural heritage, using it as a source of hope and strength.
May the year ahead bring greater unity, empathy, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of our shared humanity.
Wishing you a joyful and peaceful holiday season.
Atousa Momeni
