The Cancellation of 9th_Asia_Group_2_Meeting (to National President) 09-05-14.doc
Dear ………,
Referring to the announcement of the National Council of Thailand postponing the 9th Asia Group 2 Meeting to 4-6 July 2009 and requesting member countries to register for participation in the meeting within 30th May 2009.
Even though the political situation in Thailand has currently returned to normal, the Local Organizing Committee is aware that the member countries are concerned Thailand still cannot presently find a permanent solution for reconciliation among the Thai people. Although, the National Council of Thailand is prepared to organize the 9th Asia Group 2 Meeting, we are concerned about the benefits which will be obtained by all and if it would be worthwhile if the meeting is attended by only a few member countries. Australia has just informed us of their cancellation and will not participate in the meeting. On the other hand, if before or during the meeting, an unexpected political crisis might occur it may result in a cancellation or interruption of the meeting, causing great inconvenience and worry to the member countries participating in this meeting as well as to The National Council of Thailand.
The Local Organizing Committee has considered this matter at great length and it is with our greatest regret that we have to announce the cancellation of the 9th Asia Group 2 Meeting to be held in Thailand. Therefore, we would like to invite another member country to host this meeting instead of Thailand. Bro. Michael Thio, Bro. Brian O’Reilly, Bro. John Lee, and Bro. Thomas Tan acknowledged the decision and asked for prayers from all of us.
The National Council of Thailand deeply regret for any inconvenience this has caused to you and all your delegates/participants. For those countries who have remitted the registration fees, we will refund the amounts we have received later.
God Bless you all,
Peter Suraphol Senavinin
National President
SSVP Thailand
