Dear all members

Warm greetings from the UAAA office, Seoul. I hope all the members are safe and well over the change of global temperature, El Nino and global warming. Since last Indian meeting, I am very pleased to invite you to the UAAA General Assembly meeting in Kathmandu, Nepal coming November, from Oct. 31st to Nov. 2nd, 2023.

Especially, it is most welcomed that NMA meets the 50th anniversary since their foundation and to celebrate the anniversary on Nov. 1st, we decide to hold a commemorative event and a general assembly at the same time.

As you are aware, we have an UAAA corner in the International Mountain Museum (IMM) and we have no chance to reinforce the museum's materials after Corona. On visiting Nepal coming October, I cordially would like to ask you to bring your mountaineering goods or antique equipments for permanent exhibition in the UAAA booth.

I express my grateful thanks to all members and board members of UAAA and especially to NMA, the hosting association.

You will find a draft meeting agenda, programs and if you have any suggestions or subjects in agenda, please contact to Christine Pae, general secretary of UAAA. Registration deadline is until 10th of Oct, 2023 and please contact to both of NMA and UAAA office, Jinesh in office@nepalmountaineering.org or Christine Pae in info@uaaa.org

Thank you very much.

With warm regards.

Injeong LEE, President
