Prime Minister David Cameron said: “I would like to send my sincere greetings to everyone observing the Holy month of Ramadan. This is a month which demonstrates the true spirit of Islam. Muslims in Britain and around the world will sacrifice the day-to-day luxuries that we can take for granted; pray for people in need; and fast to show devotion to God. I am very proud to be Prime Minister of a nation in which people can freely practise their beliefs. As Prime Minister I am proud that we have kept our promise to invest 0.7 per cent of our gross national income in helping the world’s poorest – and I am grateful that we have been able to partner with Muslim and other organizations to help those in need overseas.”
