“Crossing boundaries, transcending differences, the ABU Radio Song Festival is all set to be the platform for unveiling and recognising the exceptional quality of newly discovered talents from around the region. And I look forward to a night of great music and performances as they converge on one stage, in Seoul on the gala night on 11 Oct 2012.

“It is indeed an honor and a great experience for me to be a member of the ABU Radio Song Festival Working Group (ARFWG). I think the group has worked hard to achieve the objectives of holding the festival. The group started from nothing. My special thanks to Vijay and Mark who have given their full commitment to push this inaugural initiative to be on time with the General Assembly in October. The group had its first teleconferencing on 19th November 2010 and it was my first interaction with broadcasters from the ABU member countries. I hope we can work again in other endeavours.” |
