Collected Department Releases: Bengali New Year

On behalf of the American people and the Government of the United States of America, I wish a joyous New Year to Bengalis around the world.

This holiday, celebrated in Bangladesh, India, and around the world, is an opportunity to celebrate the rich heritage and vast contributions made by speakers of the Bangla language. It is also a time to reflect on the long history of friendship between the peoples of United States and Bangladesh and our growing cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region.

Happy Pohela Boishakh!
