Dear colleagues and friends:

It gives us great pleasure to welcome you all to theth 13Asian Pacific Congress of Pediatrics and 3 rd Asian Pacific Congress of Pediatric Nursing, which will be held at the Shanghai International Convention Center from October 14-18, 2009.

The congress is organized under the auspices of the Asian Pacific Pediatric Association (APPA) which is the regional arm of the International Pediatric Association (IPA) in the Asian Pacific Region.

The invited speakers will include a number of eminent pediatricians both from overseas and mainland . They will share their expertise and research experience on many hot topics in the field of pediatrics with all attendants.

As the most populous country with over 400 million children under 18 years of age, China has an enormous contribution to make in many areas. In 2001, the 23 rd International Congress of Pediatrics was held in Beijing, which was a huge success. With the experience we have gained from organizing the 23rd ICP Congress, we firmly believe, that the 13th Asian Pacific Congress of Pediatrics and 3 rd Asian Pacific Congress of Pediatric Nursing in Shanghai in 2009 will by all means serve as another wonderful opportunity for us to share the latest development and knowledge in pediatrics and pediatric nursing around the world, especially in the Asian Pacific Region.

To top it off, Shanghai, the congress venue and commercial center of China, has an abundance of modern architectures and tourist attractions-an excellent atmosphere for 13th Asian Pacific Congress of Pediatrics andrd 3 Congress of Pediatric Nursing.

About Shanghai

Shanghai is a city with the ability to capture the heart of every visitor. The unstoppable modernisa- tion, frenzied growth and bubbling energy in this metropolis enable the atmosphere of a booming China to be felt in every corner of the city. However not only the population and the economy position put Shanghai at the pinnacle of the People’s Republic and the world. The city also welcomes its guests with attractions that put all previous ones in the dark. With the Grand Hyatt, located between the 53rd and 87th floors of one of the most striking skyscraper in the new Pudong-Area, the city can pride itself on having the highest hotel in the world. The Transrapid stretch to the new airport makes Shanghai the city with the fastest train in the world. Since the 550m long Lupu Bridge was completed in 2003, Shanghai has now outdone New York and its 503m long Bayonne Bridge – formerly the longest arched bridge in the world. The Shanghai cityscape is unique the world over. No other city has such a diverse combination of different architectural styles as this metropolis above the sea. Highly modern and architecturally imaginative skyscrapers stand beside numerous traditional Chinese houses, temples and parks, which bravely defy the increasing modernisation and keep the charm of past times alive. English, French, Spanish and American architects built houses during the colonial times along the Huangpu River, which can still be admired today. This unusual mixture of tradition and modernity combined with the constant atmosphere of change in Shanghai have ensured that the city holds a similar fascination for guests as New York did in the 60’s and 70’s. This makes Shanghai one of the best loved destinations in the Far East.
