The Korea Anti-Doping Committee (Chairman Yang Yoon-joon, hereinafter KADA) announced on the 13th that "the KADA delegation attended the regular meeting of the NADO Expert Advisory Group (EAG) held at the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) headquarters in Montreal, Canada from the 30th of last month to April 1st, while discussing with the officials of the WADA headquarters to share the results of the 2025 Busan General Assembly and discuss ways to promote subsequent legacy projects."

In particular, WADA has given the names of major cities around the world, including cities where six general meetings have been held, and in particular, the KADA delegation and the meeting were held in the Busan Room to confirm the symbolism and meaning of Busan as the host city of the 2025 WADA General Assembly, he added.

KADA said, "We plan to continue to inform the international community of the value of the host city in connection with the spread of the legacy of the Busan General Assembly in the future."

The NADO EAG regular meeting discussed major agendas shaping the future direction of the anti-doping field, including sharing regional status. Specifically, a comprehensive discussion was held on key issues for the efficient operation of global doping prevention programs, such as independence of NADO operations, compliance monitoring, outcome management systems, and anti-doping IT systems.

In addition, KADA said, "In consultation with WADA, discussions were also held on the direction of implementing legacy projects that can share and sustain the results of the Busan WADA General Assembly in 2025. WADA expressed its high evaluation and appreciation for the successful hosting of the General Assembly and the contribution of the Korean government and KADA, and agreed that this has strengthened the foundation for global doping prevention and future development."

In particular, the need for cooperation to strengthen anti-doping capabilities in Asia was emphasized in relation to legacy projects being promoted after the General Assembly. KADA emphasized that it plans to expand educational opportunities for underdeveloped countries through multilingual translation support in the future and continue to promote cooperative projects to bridge the gap between countries.

It will also promote field-oriented cooperation projects in connection with educational programs. Anti-doping camps for youth in Asia are scheduled to be held in August. To this end, we plan to work closely with WADA, KADA said. "The camp will serve as an opportunity to raise awareness of anti-doping for future sports talents and strengthen the foundation for international education cooperation."

KADA Secretary-General Kim Il-hwan said, "This meeting provides another working opportunity to share international anti-doping policy trends and expand cooperation. We will further expand projects and international cooperation that can sustain and develop the results of the Busan WADA General Assembly in 2025."
