Happy Lunar New Year!

Gong He Xin Xi

I send my warmest congratulations on this auspicious celebration!

The New Year is a time for families and friends to come together.

It is a season of renewal.

The Year of the Dragon reminds us of our dynamism … our energy … our power to make a difference.

Let us, in that spirit, work throughout this year to help those who are suffering … to advance peace … and to build the future we want.

Happy New Year to all of you.

I send my best wishes for a vibrant Year of the Dragon …

And for the good health, prosperity and happiness of each and every one of you.

Thank you.
