ABC Chairman Kimihiro YAMASHITA, Professor from Tokyo Medical and Dental University, said that ABC Symposium starts from Japan and now covered Korea, China, Indonesia, and India. From Taiwan, with the collaborative efforts of all the participants, ABC is expected to be extended to North America, South America and Australia in the future.
