FDI Moot Shenzhen: The Most Beautiful Poetry of Midsummer 2023

Regardless of the outcome, SCIA is very grateful for being with everyone this summer. The sweat you silently put in off the field, and the incisive and unrestrained expression on the field, constitute the most beautiful poem of midsummer night. Sincerely wish everyone the opportunity to continue soaring in the broader world of international arbitration in the future. We look forward to meeting with the "Top 8" teams in Shenzhen, and we also wish the teams who have advanced to the Asia Pacific regional and global competitions another great success.

Good luck to all of you, and I hope you all have fun!
