It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to Beijing to attend the 28th International Congress of Psychology (ICP2004). This Congress is unique in that it is the first International Congress of Psychology to be held in an Asian developing country, so it provides a special opportunity for exchanges in all areas of psychology, and among different cultures of the world. Holding the Congress in Beijing - a thriving center for contemporary scientific, technological and business advances, an example of global confluence and exchanges - seems an especially appropriate way to contribute to the advancement of psychology.

We highly appreciate the accomplishments made by psychology in the past century and foreseeing its potential development in the future, bringing together distinguished psychologists at a large international congress provides a unique opportunity to discuss how psychology can contribute to mankind and a safer world. The Chinese Academy of Sciences has been pleased to support the planning and organization of the Congress. I would like to express my appreciation for your commitment in joining us in Beijing. We hope you will be enriched, stimulated by, and greatly enjoy an excellent program that highlights scientific psychology and its applications in all areas of the discipline.

Beijing and China welcome you with open arms, and hope that you will have a scientifically and socially productive experience in Beijing.

Sincerely,
Yongxiang Lu
President, Chinese Academy of Sciences
Vice-Chairman, Standing Committee, National People's Congress, PRC
