Recalling his early days in overcoming difficulties to bring the Crested Ibis International Forum from scratch to real, he emphasized that the Crested Ibis is a real symbol of friendship and unity of the three countries. He extended his hope to co-host with the TCS the 3rd Forum in Sado, Japan when the travel restrictions are lifted.
