Hosted by Taiwan (China), the APhO 2021 was originally scheduled to be held in 2020 but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was postponed to this year and eventually took place online.
The online competition drew 181 contestants from 23 countries and territories. In Vietnam, it was held online at the Hanoi National University of Education from May 16 to 24, during which contestants must complete theory and practical examinations under the supervision of two Taiwanese experts.
The closing ceremony in the form of a videoconference took place at 12:00 pm on Monday.
