Opening Speech by Zhihong Xu, President of IAPTC&B 2006 Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlemen! It has been 4 years since we met in Orlando, USA in June, 2002. On behalf of the International Association for Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology, I would like to express my warm welcome to all the delegates attending the 11th International Congress of Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology. This Congress is certainly a world-class event with over 800 participants from 94 countries. In the following 5 days, the best and the brightest of international scientific leaders will present 14 plenary, 34 keynote and 120 symposia lectures covering the entire research field of plant biotechnology, as well as laws and policies regarding transgenic plants and technology transfer. More than 600 posters will augment the formal lecture sessions. The IAPTC&B awarded 15 fellowships to graduate students and post-doctoral associates from developing countries. The International Association for Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology is one of major international professional associations in the field of life science. The mission of the Association is to promote research in all aspects of basic and applied research in plant tissue culture and biotechnology. The theme of this Congress is ‘Biotechnology and Sustainable Agriculture’. It is a theme that is especially timely for plant biologists working today. I hope that this Congress will further promote global research activities in the field of plant biotechnology and thus make greater contributions to the world people. Besides scientific activities in the Congress, I hope you will also enjoy your stay in Beijing. Beijing is one of the most attractive and cosmopolitan cities in the world. It is the political and cultural center of ever-growing China, home of 11 million citizens, seat of the Chinese government, a city highly celebrated for its beautiful surroundings and well-preserved historic sites and cultural relics. I would xxi

Opening Speech
like to suggest that you enjoy your hot summer by visiting the Summer Palace where the emperors enjoyed their hot summer in old days. Finally, I wish the Congress success, and all of you a pleasant stay in Beijing.
