At present, it is still uncertain when the pandemic will be mitigated and we will be able to travel safely and resume in-person meetings. We will closely monitor the future development of the pandemic and diligently make appropriate adjustments in planning for future meetings. In the meantime, we have continued to do our utmost to promote the mission of the WPA and to contribute to the achievements and success of the Association, working closely with the Executive Committee and the Secretariat to oversee and co-ordinate all official WPA meetings and manage applications for WPA co-sponsored meetings, and maintaining responsibility for the development of proposals to host the World Congresses of Psychiatry and other meetings, and assist in all aspects of their organization. The WPA is confident that, by embracing these opportunities, taking global action and working closely together with international collaborations, we will overcome all the challenges. Together we shall move forward and define the future in psychiatry.
