“With almost 200 days to go, the anticipation is growing, and so is our shared commitment to deliver an exceptional Games that reflects the unity, strength, and progress of the Paralympic Movement across Asia,” said Souei.
The webinar served as an important platform for engagement, enabling NPCs to gain a clearer understanding of Games-time operations and readiness.
