Time advances… caveman mode persists.

The past year was filled with complex challenges from humanitarian and social crises and deepening divisions in human relationships, to political tensions and unrest that cast a shadow over public life. Alongside these, environmental pressures and nature’s warnings once again reminded us that our planet is now more than ever in need of our care and responsibility. Despite all these difficulties, collective effort, empathy, and hope remained our greatest assets.

I wish my colleagues a New Year that marks the beginning of calmer days, honesty, productivity, security, and peace along with success and health for everyone. Happy New Year 2026.
