　　亲爱的IAF成员、合作伙伴和相关方：

　　2020年对于质量界是非同寻常的一年。新冠疫情影响了全球生活的方方面面，通过及时响应突如其来的新需求，也测试了我们体系的稳固性和过程的灵活性。

　　我们的组织——国际认可论坛（IAF）和我们的所有成员面对危机奋发有为，克服困难取得了巨大成绩，对此我深感骄傲。

　　我们非常及时地就前所未有的新决策、新做法达成一致，并加以实施，以支持全球抗疫，并使各个经济体能够持续依靠经认可的合格评定服务，这对于全球保持正常运作至关重要。

　　IAF、ILAC以及各个区域认可合作组织迅速做出调整，通过远程方式开展各项工作，包括会议、培训和同行评审等等，这对于我们取得上述成绩尤为重要。

　　抗疫不仅使我们更加团结，而且使我们大家开辟了致力于服务全球质量基础设施的新途径。

　　国际组织之间的合作和经验交流通过相关平台达到了前所未有的水平，这些平台包括经济合作与发展组织（OECD）、联合国工业发展组织（UNIDO）和国际质量基础设施网络（INetQI）等。IAF在INetQI中非常活跃，并将在2021年担任INetQI主席。

　　所有这些成绩的取得，离不开你们的支持和贡献。

　　毫无疑问，如果用一个词来描述我们的2020年，那就是“合作”，证明了团结使我们更强大！

　　虽然疫情还会持续一段时间，会继续影响2021年的工作，新的一年我们将面临新的挑战，但有了我们在2020年取得的成功，我相信我们终将战胜困难和挑战。祝愿大家2021年幸福平安！期待与大家继续前行，为让世界更美好而共同努力！

　　衷心感谢大家所做的一切！

　　Dear IAF Members, Partners and Stakeholders,

　　2020 was an exceptional year for the quality infrastructure community. COVID-19 affected all aspects of life around the world, and tested the robustness of our systems and the flexibility of our processes to respond in a timely manner to new and sudden needs.

　　I am immensely proud of IAF, our organization, and all of our members for rising to the occasion and for the great work done during these difficult times.

　　New unprecedented decisions and practices were agreed and implemented in a very timely manner to support the global fight of the pandemic and to allow economies to continue operating using accredited conformity services that are vital to continue day to day operations around the world.

　　Of particular importance was the very fast transition of IAF, ILAC and their regional cooperation organizations to conducting their activities virtually - from meetings to webinars, training and peer evaluations.

　　The fight against the pandemic not only united us further, but it also allowed us all to step up with new ways of serving the quality infrastructure community globally.

　　International organizations stepped up efforts to achieve an unprecedented level of cooperation and exchange of experience under the umbrella of e.g. the OECD, UNIDO and the INetQI network for Quality infrastructure, where IAF is very active and will assume the Chair during the year 2021.

　　All this could not have been achieved without your support and contribution.

　　It is clear that the key word that describes our community during the year 2020 was “cooperation”, proving that together we are stronger!

　　While it is clear that the pandemic will be with us for some time yet, and will clearly continue to affect operations in 2021, and that the coming year will have its own challenges, based on our success in 2020, I am confident we will weather the storm and wish you a happy and safe 2021 and look forward to continuing our journey to make the world a better place.

　　Thank you very much.
