On the occasion of 15 May, commemorated as the National Day of the Persian Language and the anniversary of the eminent Persian poet Hakim Abolqasem Ferdowsi, the ECO Cultural Institute extends its sincere congratulations to Persian speakers, scholars, researchers, and admirers of Persian language and literature across the world.
As one of the most influential cultural and civilizational languages of the region, the Persian language has, throughout centuries, played a vital role in the advancement of knowledge, literature, dialogue, and cultural interaction among nations. In this regard, Hakim Abolqasem Ferdowsi, through his timeless masterpiece the Shahnameh, made an enduring contribution to preserving the Persian language and safeguarding the historical and cultural identity of this civilizational sphere.
This occasion provides a valuable opportunity to reaffirm the importance of preserving and promoting the Persian language as a shared cultural heritage and as a bridge for strengthening mutual understanding, regional convergence, and cultural connectivity among nations.
The ECO Cultural Institute respectfully commemorates this important cultural occasion and expresses its profound appreciation for the distinguished status of Persian language and literature, while wishing continued success and prosperity to all those devoted to the promotion of Persian culture, literature, and education.
