According to the current members of the summit of Wista, the association would have to reconsider its position beginning from its net in the world. "By the foundation of Wista in 1974 it is made along distance thanks to the precedence presidents and councilman", Karin Orsel has declared during its presentation to the conference of Stockholm, adding that all those who take part of the association would have to try to improve it ulteriorly.
"Personally - he has added Karin Orsel - I believe that our organization will grow until to reach about the 2,500 participants in 2020 and will operate in seven regions. This will change the position that has Europe today. It will change based on how much they will make the emergent regions in Asia, Africa and Middle East. Our scope would have to be the increase, but not in this or that Country in particular. The bordering Countries would have to be embraced mutually, for the benefit of the creation of a net more hard, regarding that Wista is already".
