Fishing, which has such a long history, is a part of human life. It is both leisure and sport. Fishing in which all mankind commonly find the pleasure, should not remain within the frame of the tournament and event confined to the national boundary.

Through a wide discussion among the board members and the players who came to participate in this Sport Fishing World Champion Cup, we have reached a conclusion that the World Sport Fishing Federation, which can be regarded as the UN in the fishing world, need to be established, in order first to create a stronger bond among the anglers of the world. The establishment of World Sport Fishing Federation may offer an opportunity to increase the informational exchange and to strengthen the relationship among our nation. And it will further ensure the continuation of Fishing World Cup, and in the end achieve the worldwide recognition of fishing as a legitimate sport.
In this era of global village, I hope that World Sport Fishing Federation serve as a base not only for the development of fishing community but also for the world peace and unification.

It is my pleasure if you all who have come here to represent each country agree upon the establishment of World Sport Fishing Federation.
