The first-ever Olympic Solidarity and Olympic Council of Asia Regional Forum in Bhutan is underway in Thimphu starting today. His Royal Highness Prince Jigyel Ugyen Wangchuck graced the opening this morning. The forum attended by 24 counties and regions aims to strengthen Olympic solidarity, develop athletes, and plan for major upcoming events.  

During the forum, His Royal Highness Prince Jigyel Ugyen Wangchuck welcomed the delegates and shared that the forum is a call to strengthen Olympic solidarity, ensuring that every athlete, regardless of geography, gender, or circumstance, has an opportunity to grow, compete, and belong.

The two-day regional forum in Bhutan serves as a crucial platform for key stakeholders to assess progress, tackle challenges, and align strategies for upcoming major sporting events.

Today, discussions centered on preparations for the 20th Asian Games 2026 in Japan, the 3rd Asian Youth Games 2025 in Bahrain, and the 6th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games 2026 in Saudi Arabia.

Delegates representing East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia participated in the forum, reflecting the region’s collective commitment to advancing sports.

Vinod Kumar Tiwari, Deputy Director General of Olympic Council of Asia said “Bhutan is making significant progress, especially with His Royal Highness Prince Jigyel Ugyen Wangchuck, President of the Bhutan Olympic Committee, leading the way as a passionate sports enthusiast. He once expressed his desire to contribute to the Olympic family and strengthen the Olympic movement in Bhutan. This forum provides a great opportunity for delegates to experience Bhutan while also allowing its citizens to witness the growth of the Olympic movement in the country.”

The Bhutan Olympic Committee shared the significance of such gatherings in strengthening regional cooperation and enhancing the capabilities of athletes and sports administrators.

Sonam Karma Tshering, General Secretary of Bhutan Olympic Committee said “Welcoming over 80 delegates to Bhutan for four days not only strengthens our sporting ties but also provides a significant boost to our economy. Our airlines, hospitality sector, restaurants, and local artisans all benefit from such events. More importantly, it showcases Bhutan’s capability and willingness to host international sporting forums, sending a strong message to the Olympic Council of Asia and the International Olympic Committee about our readiness for future opportunities.”

Tomorrow, more than 300 students are expected to take part in the “Asian Games for All – Fun Run” at the Buddha Point in Thimphu.

The forum revolves around celebrating sports as a unifying force. It will offer numerous opportunities for cultural exchange through interactive sessions, sporting exhibitions, and collaborative programs, enabling participants to gain insight into each other’s histories, values, and traditions.
