     AiSVS Executive Board members and Key members meeting was held on Dec. 14 after the end of Continuing Education Programs (refer to the Minutes). In this meeting, it was agreed that the next AiSVS annual meeting will be held in Osaka, Japan, collaborated with the Meeting of Japanese Society of Veterinary Anesthesia and Surgery and Japanese Society of Veterinary Cardiology in December, 2014.

     In the morning of Dec. 15, the representatives of 4 groups had the meeting to discuss on AMAMS 2015. Dr. Cheng, N. invited the meeting to Malaysia, and all the attendants agreed with her proposal. AiSVS, of course, will join AMAMS 2015.

     In the afternoon of Dec. 15, Dr. Wiwiek Bagja, President of Indonesian Veterinary Medical Association, called the major members who have discussed on the Asian Board of Veterinary Specialties since 2011. In Bangkok inn 2011, Dr. Siraya Chunekamrai (President of Veterinary Practitioners Association of Thailand at that time) called the responsible members of American Board of Veterinary Specialties, European Board of Veterinary Specialisation, and Australian and New Zealand College and discussed with key members of Asia on the potential way to establish Asian Board of Veterinary Specialties. Then in Jeju, Korea, in October, 2011、when WSAVA was held, the same subject was discussed within the similar members. As a result, several members would make a draft on regulations and others of Asian Board of Veterinary Specialties, which would be further discussed. However one of the main members has had sick and the draft has not yet been made by the time of this meeting in Bogor. Therefore we will wait for a while to further discuss on this issue after the draft will be made.

      In the evening of Dec 14, Welcome / Farewell Party (Photo 4) was held and many delegates joined the party. Instrumental music was played and various Asian songs were played by all the delegates using Indonesian folk instruments made of bamboo. At the coffee break and lunch time, exhibition room was full with delegates (Photo 5).
