On November 8, 2012, in Macau, the 31st General Assembly of the Olympic Council of Asia witnessed a significant milestone in children's and youth sports in Asia. At the initiative of the OCA President Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, the Children of Asia International Committee was established. This marked the beginning of our great and important mission.
Today, we celebrate our 13th anniversary. During this time, a tremendous amount of work has been done: the Children of Asia Games have grown into a large-scale project that brings together thousands of young talents from Asia. All year round, we implement development programs, organize training camps, and create an environment where young athletes can grow, develop, and strive for Olympic heights.
The Children of Asia project is dynamically developing and continues to serve as the main launching pad for future champions. We are proud that the Children of Asia project gives young athletes an opportunity to gain invaluable experience, and build friendships that transcend borders.
On this day, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been by our side throughout these years. Your support has been the foundation of our joint success.
We look forward to achieving new goals, setting new records, and making new names in the world of children's sports. Thank you for being a part of this journey. Together, we continue to write the story of children's sports in Asia.
Happy 13th Anniversary, CAIC!
