The 'Host City Parties' respect and understand this decision.

Earlier, Cisco and Facebook became the latest big tech firms to drop out of the world's largest mobile industry exhibition.
Both companies joined the growing list of companies - including LG Electronics, Ericsson, Nvidia, Sony, Amazon, Intel, Vivo, and NTT Docomo to not attend the mobile trade show.
"Out of an abundance of caution, Facebook employees would not be attending this year's Mobile World Congress due to the evolving public health risks related to coronavirus. We will continue to collaborate with the GSMA and our partners and thank them for their efforts," a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement.
Cisco took to Twitter to announce that it would not participate in the MWC 2020.
"We have made the difficult decision to withdraw from participating in Mobile World Congress scheduled for Feb 24-27 in Barcelona due to concerns about the current outbreak of coronavirus," the company tweeted.
Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi, however, said that it will participate in MWC 2020 and will also stick to its original schedule.
