Supreme Council for Youth and Sport (SCYS) first deputy chairman, GSA chairman and Bahrain Olympic Committee president Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa praised the efforts of the Children of Asia International Committee (CAIC) to organise sporting and cultural programmes and events for children of Asia to raise their awareness of sports values.
Shaikh Khalid was speaking as he received CAIC president Vladimir Maksimov yesterday.
The meeting discussed means to further enhance co-operation to create various programmes and activities supporting children’s development in sports, culture, and health.
He emphasised the BOC’s keenness to build a healthy and fit generation by enhancing children’s talent from an early age through sports initiatives that target school children.
Bahrain will host the International School Sport Federation (ISF) Gymnasiade in October next year, he added.
