Trudeau recalled that Eid Al Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, is an opportunity for quality time with family and friends and for worship as a community.
The Canadian politician also took the Eid wishes as an opportunity to recall the importance of the Muslim community and their contributions to Canada’s development as well as to boosting the country’s cultural diversity.
“On this day, we recognize the invaluable contributions Muslim communities in Canada have made and continue to make, to this country. Canada’s cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths and source of pride,” he said.
For his part, Biden extended his wishes and renewed his administration’s commitment to addressing the challenges that Muslims continue to face in the US including Islamophobia.
“This is why I established an interagency task force with senior government officials to tackle this and related challenges and encourage every American to build a more inclusive nation,” he said.
Biden echoed Trudeau’s remarks, stressing Muslims’ contributions in all sectors.
“They are in laboratories and on factory floors, working to create and manufacture cutting edge technologies and initiatives to build a future made in America,” he said.
Muslims in Canada and the US are celebrating Eid Al Fitr today along with several other countries across the world such as Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, and Egypt.
