My esteemed Colleagues,

On behalf of WABIP I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to all participants of the 10th Asian Pacific Congress on Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (APCB 2025) in Taipei, Taiwan.

As the Chair of WABIP and Asian, I call the dynamic Asia-Pacific region my home. On the world’s stage, it is fast becoming a force in interventional pulmonology through innovative technologies, evolving techniques and collaborative research. Asia-Pacific region accounts for more than half of our 11,000 strong WABIP membership, which underscores the pivotal role these practitioners and researchers play in advancing and shaping the future of IP.

The organising committee of APCB 2025 has crafted an outstanding program, and the APCB 2025 provides an invaluable platform for knowledge exchange, skill enhancement, research and networking. The choice of Taipei as the host city is perfect and I am confident that the scientific program together with regional and international participation, unique venue, and embracing Asian hospitality will create an enriching environment for the mind, body and soul. Mark the date on your calendar for the APCB 2025 in Taipei!
