[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The schedule for the World Forestry Congress, which was postponed once due to the spread of COVID-19, has been confirmed for May next year.

The Korea Forest Service announced on the 8th that the "15th World Forestry Congress" will be held from May 2 to 6 next year at COEX in Seoul.

The Congress is the largest international conference in the forestry sector and is held every six years. The 15th Congress was originally scheduled to be held in Korea next month but was tentatively postponed considering the domestic and international COVID-19 situation.

Due to the postponement of the Congress schedule, the submission period for Congress-related papers, posters, and video abstracts, as well as side event applications, which the Korea Forest Service had been preparing, will also be delayed and is expected to take place over two months starting at the end of this month.

Other detailed information about next year's Congress can be found on the official Congress website.

Park Eun-sik, head of the Congress preparation planning team at the Korea Forest Service, said, "The Congress is considered the most important international event in the forestry sector, with participation from 160 countries worldwide," adding, "The Korea Forest Service will strive to successfully host the Congress to enhance national prestige and strengthen diplomatic standing in the forestry field."
