Message from Prime Minister Helen Clark for
Chinese New Year

On behalf of the government and the Labour Party, greetings to all members of New Zealand’s Chinese community as you celebrate the Year of the Monkey in this year’s Chinese New Year celebrations.

New Zealand is a country which prides itself on good relations between communities and which values deeply human rights. The government is committed to promoting an environment in which the many peoples who make up New Zealand can live together in harmony. Many new communities are contributing the richness of their cultures, heritage, and languages to New Zealand. We take pride in celebrating our cultural diversity.

The Labour Party places great value on its relationship with the Chinese community in New Zealand.

May the Festival bring you good health, prosperity and, above all, happiness.

Helen Clark
Prime Minister
