Charles asks for 2022 'to be year of action' on Chinese New Year

The Prince of Wales has urged the world to create a better future for the next generation by living and working in "harmony with nature and the planet".

Charles' appeal to "make this a year of action" was made in a message of congratulations to those in China and across the globe celebrating the Lunar New Year, which begins on Tuesday, the Year of the Tiger.

The Lunar New Year is the start of a two-week celebration and is the most important holiday for billions of people around the world.

During the festival, homes are festooned with red paper lanterns and families gather to share sumptuous feasts, enjoying symbolic dishes such as dumplings, representing gold ingots, and noodles, denoting long life.

In his message, the prince said: "My wife and I would like to wish a happy, healthy and prosperous new year to all those in China - and everyone celebrating the new Lunar Year across the world.

"As we enter the Year of The Tiger, known for courageous action and rising to challenge and adventure, I hope the whole world will make this a year of action.

"Together let's create a better future for all our children by shifting the way we live and work to be in harmony with nature and the planet. The blessing of the tiger brings happiness to all families in the year of the tiger. Wishing you peace and happiness."
