As blooming flowers usher in the beauties of spring and the fresh breezes of a new beginning, I want to wish all Uzbeks happiness and joy on the occasion of Navruz on behalf of the people of the United States of America and the colleagues and friends at the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent.
In my hometown of Seattle, Washington, close to 500 Americans will be attending a Navruz celebration as part of the Tashkent-Seattle Sister Cities program. I know they too will be enjoying the traditional servings of sumalak and plov and that they join me in wishing all Uzbek families peace, good health and success, as we all work together to strengthen the bonds of friendship between our two countries.
Navruz Mubarak!
