At the reception, Mr.  Sieh Kok Chi said the Council will help the city to prepare for the 31st SEA Games, saying Ho Chi Minh City should build new stadiums and facilities for water and new sports. 

The City has infrastructure and human resources suitable for hosting SEA Games, he said, suggesting the southern metropolis train athletes, coaches, referees and volunteers who also should be equipped with foreign language skills. 

The OCM will assist the city in preparations and share its experience in managing  and organizing SEA Games, he affirmed.

For her part, Vice Chairwoman Thu has urged the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) to share its experience in managing and organising sport events at regional, continental and international levels.

She said Malaysia has the most developing sport movements in Southeast Asia. 

The country successfully hosted Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) for six times, the Commonwealth Games and other regional, continental and international tournaments, Thu said.
