Acknowledgment

The 5^th International Plant Breeding Congress has served not merely as a venue for presenting scientific papers, but as a high-value international platform where a shared vision for the future of the agricultural sector has been articulated.

We firmly believe that the scientific data and evaluations generated during this congress will contribute meaningfully to the development of national agricultural policies, the advancement of regional development goals, and the strengthening of international research collaborations.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all researchers who enriched our congress, to the institutions and organizations that provided their unwavering support, to our congress sponsors, and to the members of the organizing and scientific committees who worked with great dedication and professionalism.

We also wish to announce that the scientific studies presented during the congress will soon be published digitally on the congress website and shared openly with all relevant institutions and the public.

We hope that the outcomes of our congress will be beneficial to our country, our region, and global agriculture, and we look forward to convening again at future congresses under the guiding light of science.
