The Doha 2030 Asian Games Bid Committee today continued to welcome members of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) family to its hospitality lounge – the Doha Majlis – and discussed its vision for an Asian Games where ‘We All Belong.’
The Doha Majlis, set-up on the side-lines of the OCA General Assembly in Muscat, combines the sense of community and belonging associated with a traditional Qatari Majlis, with the forward-thinking and innovative approach that is key to the Doha 2030 bid. Representatives from Asia’s National Olympic Committees (NOCs) have been warmly welcomed to the Majlis to learn more about the bid and share their thoughts ahead of the 2030 Asian Games Host City election tomorrow.
Using the latest interactive technologies, the Majlis, features a touch screen map of Doha 2030’s masterplan, allowing the OCA family to get a true sense of the bid’s compact, sustainable and world-class offering. NOCs have been able to see for themselves how Doha 2030 will make full use of the city’s existing state-of-the-art venues and transport network.
In doing so, Doha 2030 is able to guarantee minimal travel times and minimal impact on the environment while maximising the opportunities to deliver a meaningful and immediate legacy for Asian NOCs.
Qatar Olympic Committee’s Secretary-General and Doha 2030 CEO HE Jassim Bin Rashid Al Buenain said:
“It has been our privilege to welcome our friends from Asia’s NOCs to our Doha Majlis in Muscat.
“In Qatari culture, a Majlis is a traditional meeting place for friends and families and so we could think of no better place to discuss and present our Asian Games bid to our brothers and sisters from our OCA family.
“We wanted to ensure Asia’s NOCs feel the sense of warmth and belonging that they will experience in Doha and see we have developed plans for a world-class Asian Games that is focused on their needs and priorities.
“We have received very positive feedback from the OCA family in recent days and weeks. But we take nothing for granted and will continue to use every minute of the time we have left.
“Tomorrow’s presentations during the OCA General Assembly will be our last opportunity to convey our vision to our fellow NOCs and we hope they will agree that Doha 2030 is the Asian Games that Asia deserves and needs in these uncertain times.”
