W el com e M essage

It is my great honour and pleasure as a

congress president to welcome you to 18th

Congress of the Asian Pacific Society of

Respirology (APSR2013), to be held on

11-14th November 2013 at the Conference

Center, Pacifico Yokohama, J apan. Following

the success of the two previous congresses

both in J apan, 1988 in Tokyo and 2006 in

Kyoto, the Local Congress Committee (LCC)

members of the J apanese Respiratory

Society (J RS) are very honored to host the

APSR for the third time. The LCC members

are also pleased to note that this APSR2013

Congress is the 25th anniversary and a

landmark in the history of the APSR.

Under the main theme for the AP SR2013;

Creating Harmony in the Asian Pacific

Respiratory Medicine, the four-day congress

will feature a comprehensive sc ientific

programme, including post-graduate courses,

plenary lectures, major symposia organized

by 16 APSR Scientific Assemblies, which will

be delivered by distinguished speakers in the

field of respirology. In addition, oral and

poster presentations will provide a perfect

opportunity for researchers and clinicians as a

platform for an academic and a daily clinical

exchange. Young researchers and clinicians

in the Asia-Pacific region will be able to

improve their knowledge and skills through

the discussion with many invited researchers

from the American Thoracic Society (ATS), the

European Respiratory Society (ERS) (ERS)

and the J apanese Respiratory societies (J RS).The LCC will organize a variety of social

events for delegates to enjoy.

One year after the tragic Great East J apan

Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster, with the

medical supports from each c ountry of

Asia-P acific region, J apan has remarkably

recovered from both people s and its land s

damage. Accordingly, we sincerely appreciate

for all the supports and hope that the congress in

Yokohama will be highly productive and exciting

in terms of the scientific and clinical

achievement. With this occasion, the congress

participants will have a chance for further

understanding of the J apanese historic disaster

first hand by visiting the cities along the northern

Pacific coast.

I look forward to seeing you in Yokohama in the

most beautiful autumn season.

Yours Sincerely,

Toshihiro Nukiwa, M.D.,Ph.D.
