ORGANIZERS of the Hanoi 31st Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee reaffirmed Vietnam’s hosting of the delayed games from May 12 to 25 following Tuesday’s first chef de mission meeting that was held online because of travel protocols wrought by the Covid-19 omicron variant spike early this month.
“Pre-Games formalities and timelines were presented, as well as soft copies of the Games manual were distributed to the members,” said Tolentino as the countdown to the Games, originally scheduled from November 21 to December 2 last year, ticked at 114 days on Monday. The deadline for the submission of entries by names, Tolentino added, is set for March 12, after which the chefs de mission will meet again, most likely face-to-face, on March 18.
