of ASMMA member delegations and participants,

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule. This moment
is very exciting for me as I see familiar faces of my old friends since we
have built trust and respect for many years. As you are well aware, the
Asian Fixed Income Summit and the Asian Secondary Mortgage Market
Association annual meeting serve as a venue to advance the Asian
mortgage market and promote mutual cooperation. Since 2014, we have
continued our exchanges since 2014 and shared various experiences and
knowledge to help develop and grow the regional mortgage market. My
hope is that the next two-day meetings will help us solidify and advance
cooperation in the mortgage finance sector.
