The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre will be the venue for both the International Olympic Council (IOC) executive board meeting and the 128th IOC session from July 28th to August 3rd.
“The Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) is proud to be chosen as host of the 128th IOC Session. Even though we could not afford to host the Olympic Games, hosting a prestigious meeting is also an honour to the country,” OCM honorary secretary Datuk Sieh Kok Chi told Bernama.
