“Following the successful roadshows in Uzbekistan, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Vietnam and China, I believe this roadshow to be the significant closing for us to share the vision and enthusiasm of Asian Games together.”

The event will be attended by special guests from IOA, Indian government as well as Korean delegates. The IAGOC will appoint two national sports stars as goodwill ambassador of the Games.

By holding overseas promotions, the IAGOC aims to achieve high level interest, participation and support for the Asiad under the slogan of ‘Diversity Shines Here’.
