New Delhi: The Commonwealth Games will be commencing in the capital next year and the CGF’s Co-ordination Commission (COCOM) began its three-day meeting to review the preparations of the event.

COCOM chairman, Austin Sealy of Barbados said all parties involved were working to make the Games a success. “We are all working towards the same goal — that of producing a successful Games next year,” Sealy said.

OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi said, “This meeting is a good opportunity to introspect and review what needs to be done to achieve set milestones and timelines.”

The meeting comes two months after Commonwealth Games Federation
president Mike Fennell slammed the Organising Committee for the slow
pace of work.

However, CGF CEO Mike Hooper told The Indian Express on Thursday that significant changes had taken place in the work
preparations since October.
