President Blaise Campaore, Burkina Faso
On the advent of the Eid Al Adha, I extend my best wishes for good health, happiness and prosperity to Your Excellency and to the government and people of the Gambia. This feast is a special moment of sharing and of self-abnegation for the citizens of ECOWAS and an opportunity to better cultivate the values of tolerance and fraternity.
I pray that God the Almighty may grant our populations who are on pilgrimage proper reward for their acts of faith and that he hears their prayers for the achievement of lasting peace in our sub-region. May Prophet Abraham’s example of piety and self-sacrifice inspire us in our daily activities of building a strong West African community.
Please accept, Your Excellency and dear brother, the assurances of my highest and fraternal esteem.
President Omar Hassan Ahmed El Bashir Sudan

Please accept, Your Excellency and dear brother, the assurances of my highest consideration and fraternal esteem.
Governor General Michelle Jean, Canada
On behalf of my family, I express our joy in sharing, our love in hope and the beauty we see in the world and thereby extend our heartfelt greetings to Your Excellency on the occasion of Christmas and the new year.
