Dear Friends, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support of the World Psychiatric Association (WPA). It is with huge gratitude and pride that I assume the role of President, entrusted with the privilege of guiding this esteemed organisation over the next triennium.
