Burma's Thingyan Festival and New Year 2026
On behalf of the United States of America, I extend my best wishes and support to the people of Burma as you celebrate the Thingyan festival, Burma's New Year.
Thingyan is a time for reflection, as well as an opportunity to look ahead towards a new year. As the conflict in Burma continues to devastate the country, the United States remains committed to supporting an end to the crisis.
The people of Burma have repeatedly demonstrated courage and resilience in the face of ongoing suffering. As the spirit of Thingyan reminds us of a better tomorrow, we wish the people of Burma strength, resilience, and renewed hope for the year.
