The President of Children of Asia International Committee Vladimir Maksimov had a meeting with Minister of Sports of the Russian Federation Mikhail Degtyarev. During the meeting the parties have discussed the development of the children’s and youth sports as well as the projects of the International Committee.
For many participants the Children of Asia Games have become a launching platform into the world of major sports. Over the long history, more than 15,000 athletes have taken part in the Games, many of whom competed and became prize-winners at international competitions and the Olympic Games. In such a way, the International Committee has established friendly relations with all the national Olympic committees of member countries of the Olympic Council of Asia that are interested in the development of children's and youth sports. This direction is one of the most important for us. The committee not only organizes competitions, but also prepares young athletes for these” Mikhail Degtyarev noted.
One of the projects of the Children of Asia International Committee is Climbing Olympus Educational Program, which is aimed at introducing the history of the Games, promoting the Olympic principles, clean sports and strengthening friendly relations between athletes.
The Children of Asia International Committee holds the International Summit of Young Professionals and supervises Children of Asia alumni. The project is aimed at designing the programs for the development of children's sports in Asian countries, and for educational activities to promote the principles of the Olympic movement and the history of the Games.
