On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I congratulate the people of Nepal and send my warmest wishes for a joyful New Year as you celebrate with family and friends in the coming days.
This is an opportunity for friends and family to celebrate national unity and goodwill in Nepal, and for all Nepalis everywhere to gather and exchange good wishes.
