Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It gives me great pleasure to invite you to attend the 10th Congress of the APSR as well as the 1st Joint Congress of the APSR/ACCP. The event, to be held in Guangzhou, China, on November 11-14, 2005, is made possible by the joint efforts of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology and the American College of Chest Physicians as The co-organizers, and The Chinese Medical Association, The Chinese Society of Respiratory Diseases, the Guangdong Medical Association, the Guangzhou Association for Science and Technology and the Guangzhou Medical College as the hosts. The Congress is definitely the first of its kind in bringing together experts in respiratory medicine from the East and the West.
A wide range of topics of interest will be covered in the scientific programme, providing participants an excellent opportunity to keep abreast of the latest developments in respiratory medicine and cardiovascular diseases.
Being one of China's largest and busiest cities, Guangzhou is the energetic trading centre and heart of the Guangdong province. Located north of the Pearl River Delta from where it is nurtured since time immemorial, this rich land was one of the starting points of the ancient Marine Silk Road connecting the East and the west. Its long history of more than 2,800 years leaves the city numerous scenic and historical sites that are perfect to visit any time of the year, providing precious memories that add to this modern east-meets-west trip thousands of years later.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the 10th Congress of the APSR and the 1st Joint Congress of the APSR/ACCP, we look forward to seeing you in Guangzhou in November 2005.
Professor Nan-Shan Zhong
President

Guangzhou is located at the mouth of the Pearl River, southern part of China. Having a history of 2,800 years, Guangzhou is regarded as the earliest among the international trade port cities in the world. With a land area of 7,434 square km, the estimated population is only 6.66 million. The official language is Chinese. Putonghua is the most widely spoken Chinese dialect, though Cantonese dialect is also spoken.
Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong province since Ming dynasty. It is an international port of transportation and trade, and the dominate port of entry for tourists. It has the title of "South Gate of China", used to be called as "YangCheng" and "Suicheng".
To say that Guangzhou is a bustling metropolis does not fully convey the intense drive and activity of this overwhelmingly commercial city that gets on with its business and leaves tourists to enjoy theirs.
