I would like to send my warmest regards to all those celebrating the beginning of the Chinese New Year on February 8th.

According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2016 will be the Year of the Monkey. The monkey is known to be bold, versatile and quick-witted.

Perhaps this is a fitting sign for us this year. As the new year unfolds, we face enormous challenges around the world. We will certainly need to act with boldness to confront them.

Wishing you all the very best,

Ribal Al-Assad
