ANAS AL OTAIBA SEND HIS BEST REGARDS TO ALL ASIAN NATIONAL FEDERATION 10 Dear Asian National Federations Presidents, Dear ASBC members, Dear Colleagues, I hope my letter finds you in good health, and wealth. As a new ASBC President and AIBA Vice-President, it gives me great pleasure to send my best regards to all of our National Federations and ASBC members. I am aware of that all of our affiliated Asian National Federations worked hard to the success of our combat sport in recent years. In the beginning, I would like to send my sincere congratulations to the newly elected Asian members of the AIBA Executive Committee. The Asian Boxing Confederation had substantial successes in all aspects of boxing for the last ten years, and I would like to nourish those successes by developing and enhancing boxing in our beloved continent. We had a program before the elections and underlined that we will use the previous grassroots and ASBC's tradition to build up our collective future for the success. Our slogan during the campaign was: "Being together is the beginning, working together is the progress and fighting together is the success." We believe in the transparency in all areas of our work. Sharing and informing stakeholders is a key value in the new management. Innovation is another strong factor for the future, and we can guarantee quality services in our work. Currently, we are working hard to establish a strategic plan for the next coming years. In Addition, the ASBC Congress will be arranged so soon. I am working with AIBA jointly to initiate the Diversity of Boxing, a program which had been launched by AIBA to support all aspect of boxing around the world. Such program will give national federations an excellent chance of receiving funds which will evolve boxing in Asia. We are looking forward to collaborative work with all of you to develop boxing in Asia. Sincerely yours, Anas Alotaiba ASBC President, AIBA Vice-President 11 ASBC EX-PRESIDENT MR.
