【大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网1月23日讯】作为莫那什市市长，我很自豪能够将该市建成一个中国人的乃至亚洲人的海外之家，同时我们也很欣慰地看到有着不同风格的文化正在这里交融和蓬勃发展。

不久前，我们刚刚辞别西方的新年，现在我们又迎来了中国的传统新年。据我所知，中国的大年夜和年初一是人们欢聚一堂，互致问候的时刻，在此我诚邀所有不同文化背景的市民一同与我们共度中国传统佳节。

能有如此多的亚裔把莫那什市视为自己的海外之家，我想从这一点中不难看出，莫那什市已成为一个开放、宽容、民主的城市和弘扬各族文化的基地。

我们热忱欢迎这里的每一名新成员，同样我们可以骄傲地说有越来越多的人正选择莫那什市作为他们自己的家园。

祝大家新年快乐!

Chinese New Year Greeting From Monash Mayor Geoff Lake

One of the things I am extremely proud of as Mayor of Monash is our cultural diversity. We are proud to be home for many Chinese and Asian residents and look forward to our diversity growing more.

While we have celebrated the arrival of western New Year, the celebrations are just beginning to bring in the Chinese New Year.

As I understand it, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day is a time of reunion and thanksgiving in Chinese culture and I encourage residents from all backgrounds to join in many activities taking place for Chinese New Year in the Monash area.

With such a high population on Asian-born people now calling Monash home, I think it speaks for itself that Monash is a municipality based on acceptance, tolerance and sharing while promoting cultural identity.

We have always embraced new residents and I am proud that more and more people are choosing to call Monash home.

I wish you all a very happy Chinese New Year.
