Dear ABU colleagues and friends,

ABU 2012 Seoul, the 49th General Assembly of the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union, has run its course. From October 11th through 18th, the ABU General Assembly and associated meetings attracted more than 1,000 participants from our region and beyond, making it one of the largest and most industrious summits in ABU history.

We at the Korean Broadcasting System count ourselves fortunate to have had the honor and privilege of hosting the 2012 General Assembly. We offer our sincere gratitude to all those who participated and helped make this such a successful and memorable experience for all. Thank you for being with us in Seoul.

This year's gathering, with its focus on excellence in fresh associated meetings and innovative programs working in synergy with the Plenary Session of the General Assembly, will go down as a truly outstanding milestone in the history of the ABU. This is all thanks to the strong will and determination of the members of the ABU. Thank you, once again for all of your contributions.

See you in Hanoi!

Dr Kim In-Kyu
ABU President
KBS President & CEO
