Sir Reg wishes Chinese Community a Happy New Year
Sir Reg Empey, Leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, has extended his good wishes to Northern Ireland’s Chinese community, as preparations are made to celebrate the Chinese New Year this Sunday.
Sir Reg said,
“The 8000 strong Chinese community have contributed much to society and the economy in Northern Ireland. Society in this part of the United Kingdom has been enriched by the cultural heritage of the Chinese community and by the participation of the Chinese community in our civic and economic life. This has greatly contributed to the diversity of Northern Ireland, which benefits us all.
Our society still has much to do to ensure that the Chinese community has equal access to services and is free of the blight of racist intimidation and discrimination. The Ulster Unionist Party is committed to continuing to address this agenda.
On behalf of the Ulster Unionist Party I wish our Chinese neighbours and fellow-citizens a happy New Year.”
