Iran NOC; Tehran: At the beginning of the meeting, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Fahd Al-Sabah, President of the Olympic Council of Asia, welcomed the members present at the meeting and a number of members who virtually attended the meeting due to Covid19 pandemic and travel restrictions. The first part of the meeting was dedicated to the introduction of the Vice President and the new member of the Executive Board. Otabek Umarov from Uzbekistan became Vice-President of the Executive Board of the OCA. Ms. Mika Katoni, from Japan Olympic Commitee was re-elected as the new Chair of the Athletes' Commission, which she had previously held. The approval of the General Assembly's plans for the next meeting, which included a description of the plans, was another issue raised at the 74 th session of the OCA, with which the members agreed. Also in the next section, the members of the Finance Commission presented the audit report from 2019 and 2020 until now, which was approved by all present members and members who participated virtually. The next part was to determine the host of the next round of the Executive Board of the Asian Olympic Council. In this regard, Sheikh Ahmad said: "Iran was supposed to be the host before, but due to the increase in the number of coronavirus victims in most countries, this issue was postponed." Iran's hosting remains strong, and as soon as Iran announces control of the disease, both in terms of the number of patients and the number of victims, the next meeting of the Executive Board will be held in Iran in early July next year. Following the meeting, Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games officials also presented a full report to the members on their activities. In the continuation of this section, Dr. Salehi Amiri asked Sheikh Ahmad to raise an issue and discuss the elimination of karate and said: "Unfortunately, this incident has caused a shock to Asian sports and a number of prominent countries in the world over the past one or two weeks”. The removal of this world- famous discipline from the Olympic Games was a request to the Executive Board to be approved by the OCA in a respectful letter to the IOC for a review. EB Members agreed with the Iranian NOC President. ﮐﻠﯿﻪ ﺣﻘﻮﻕ ﻣﺘﻌﻠﻖ ﺑﻪ ﮐﻤﯿﺘﻪ ﻣﻠﯽ ﺍﻟﻤﭙﯿﮏ ﺟﻤﻬﻮﺭﯼ ﺍﺳﻼﻣﯽ ﺍﯾﺮﺍﻥ ﻣﯽ ﺑﺎﺷﺪ. .
