“…the 4th edition of the Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, originally scheduled to be held in October this year, will now be held from October 22 to 28, 2023,” Asian Paralympic Committee (APC) and HAPGOC said in a statement.
“The decision on the new dates came after discussions were held between HAPGOC, National Paralympic Committee of China, the APC and other stakeholders.”
The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) had in July announced the new dates for the Asian Games, which will be now held from September 23 to October 8, 2023.
This is the second time China will host the Asian Para Games after the successful staging of the first edition at Guangzhou in 2010.
