We express our sincerest thanks to all the participants of the Caritas Asia 2023 Regional Conference, which was held at The Four Wings Hotel, Bangkok, Thailand on 7-8 March 2023. Your presence and active involvement in the conference contributed significantly to the success of the event. We appreciate your valuable inputs, insights, and perspectives that helped shape the discussions and debates on the critical issues that our Caritas family in the region needed to resolve. Your contributions have been instrumental in the decisions and conclusions that were reached at the conference.

We are very grateful, as well, for the important discussions, resolutions, and decisions made during the conference, including the approval of the proposed agenda and the draft proceedings of the 2022 Regional Conference, as well as the acceptance of the third draft of the CI Strategic Framework. Your valuable inputs also helped in the decision to create the Asia Human Mobility Network and the approval of the proposed distribution of the 2023 Caritas Asia Structural Feesand CI Statutory Fees.

We also appreciate your support of the decision of the Regional Commission to postpone the regional elections and re-open the nomination for the presidency of Caritas Asia. We believe that this decision was made in the best interests of our organization, as it will provide opportunities for wider choices of candidates and ensure that the best candidate is selected for this important role. We hope that all of you will continue to support this decision by actively participating in the nomination process and engaging with your communities to identify strong candidates for the presidency of Caritas Asia.

Rest assured that Caritas Asia remains committed to ensuring that the decisions you made at the conference are implemented effectively to improve the lives of those we serve in the Asia region. We are confident that, with the continued support and active involvementof all of you, our 25 Caritas Member Organizations in Asia, as well as our global Caritas partners, we can achieve our goals and make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.
