On February 13, 1949, delegates from several Asian countries drafted a constitution in New Delhi. They decided to hold the Asian Games every four years, midway between the Olympic Games, and also agreed on the simple motto “Ever Onward". By far, fifteen Asian Games have already been staged. “Ever Onward” was kept as the slogan for most of the first ten Games.
1949年2月12日至13日,印度邀請一些亞洲國家的體育組織代表在新德里會晤,通過由中、印、菲、韓起草的憲章。全體代表一致同意采納“Ever Onward永遠(yuǎn)向前”為亞洲運(yùn)動會的口號。迄今為止,亞運(yùn)會已經(jīng)舉辦了十五屆,但是并非每一屆亞運(yùn)會都有自己的口號,前十屆亞運(yùn)會基本上都沿用了 “Ever Onward”這一口號。
