the main mission. “Of course, I will assist and collaborate with the
President of CASE on several key focuses and main missions,” he said.
These missions include improving editorial standards of scientific journals,
carrying out educational and training missions, fostering international

scientific world. REACH and CASE are optimistic that with solid cooperation,
the vision and mission can be well realized for the advancement of the
scientific community in Asia and the world.
