Happy Lunar New Year.
I am pleased to send my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Lunar New Year – and this Year of the Snake.
The snake symbolizes wisdom, resilience, and renewal.
In these trying times, let us be guided by these qualities and renew our commitment to peace, equality, and justice.
Let us embrace this time of new beginnings with hope and determination to create a better future for all.
May the Year of the Snake bring good health, happiness, prosperity, and new beginnings.
Thank you.
