Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wished all Muslims a joyous Eid-al-Fitr in Sunday in an official statement on Sunday.

“Tonight at sunset, Muslims in Canada and around the world will celebrate Eid al-Fitr, also known as the festival of breaking of the fast," the statement read.

“Eid al-Fitr is one of the most important religious holidays for the Muslim community, and marks the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. It is a time to give thanks for the spiritual growth and the blessings received throughout the holy month, the statement added.

“On this occasion, family and friends gather to attend special morning prayers, exchange greetings and gifts, share a celebratory meal, and give generously to others, especially those that are less fortunate, the statement noted.

“Canada’s cultural diversity is one of our greatest strengths and sources of pride. This year, as we mark the 150th anniversary of Confederation, we recognize the invaluable contributions the Muslim community makes to our national fabric, quoting Trudeau, the statement.

“On behalf of our family, Sophie and I extend our best wishes to all those celebrating Eid al-Fitr. Eid Mubarak," the Canadian Prime Minister said.

Trudeau's congratulatory message on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr comes as countries like Spain, Kuwait, Syria, Serbia, Lebanon celebrated Eid al-Fitr on Sunday while some other will celebrate it on Monday.
