In separate messages to his counterparts in Islamic countries on Tuesday June 7, Jahangiri congratulated Muslim people and governments on the auspicious occasion.

He further expressed the hope that during the holy month, there will be closer brotherly ties among Muslim nations and peace and security will be established in the Islamic Ummah (community).
