Dear Colleague,
 

We have been pleasantly informed by the Secretariat that you have registered for participation in EARCOME 3 this August. As the organizers of EARCOME 3, we sincerely appreciate your support.

Between Japan and China, there is a time-honored tradition of academic exchanges, to the great benefit of both. Because of the two countriesf long-standing repute in offering excellent and distinctive mathematics education, the exchanges in this particular field always have significance that reach far and wide around the world and invariably prove to be invaluable opportunities for mathematicians and mathematics educators of both countries to learn from each other and to gain new glorious achievements.
Although, as you know, there happened, some time ago in a few Chinese cities, Shanghai included, some unpleasant incidents, which upset many Japanese people, visitors from overseas, including Japan, are definitely safe in China. Chinese people show, as always, their friendship and hospitality to all guests. Of course, we hope that the Governments may deal with China-Japan relations better. But it is our stronger hope that all these affairs should not affect academic visits and exchanges.

As the host of the coming EARCOME 3, we firmly believe that there will absolutely be no safety problem here. Actually, for example, several international conferences were held on the campus of East China Normal University last month, all successfully, to which quite a few scholars from Japan attended and no problem in any sense of the word occurred. We are sincerely looking forward to welcoming you this August at EARCONE 3 and to learning your academic findings and your interesting ideas about mathematics education.

Sincerely yours,

Prof. WANG Jianpan
