Тhe 19th Congress of Asian Society for Pediatric Research (ASPR 2026)

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 19th Congress of the Asian Society for Pediatric Research (ASPR 2026), held alongside the 76th Annual Meeting of the Korean Pediatric Society. As President of the KPS, I am honored to invite colleagues from across Asia and beyond to gather in Seoul for this significant joint event.

For decades, the Korean Pediatric Society has been dedicated to advancing child health through clinical excellence, scientific inquiry, and continuous education. As President of the Korean Pediatric Society, I would also like to express my sincere appreciation to Chairman of the Board/CEO of our society, Han-Suk Kim and the entire Organizing Committee for their dedicated efforts and hard work toward the successful preparation of ASPR 2026. Hosting this congress offers an invaluable opportunity to strengthen our collaboration with the international pediatric community and advance our shared mission of promoting the health and well-being of children and adolescents.

We are delighted to welcome you to Korea and hope your time at this congress will be both academically enriching and personally rewarding. Through active exchange of knowledge and ideas, I am confident this meeting will inspire innovation, broaden perspectives, and advance pediatric medicine throughout our region.

I look forward to welcoming you all to Seoul.

Kyeongbae Park
