TheAsian Paralympic Committee (acronym:APC) is an organization based inUnited Arab Emirates. It has 45National Paralympic Committees of the Asian continent as members. It organizes theAsian Para Games and is affiliated to theInternational Paralympic Committee.
The Asian Paralympic Committee was formed on 30 October 2002 during the2002 FESPIC Games in Busan, South Korea as the Asian Paralympic Council, following a motion presented by NPC Malaysia at the 1999 IPC General Assembly. It consisted originally of three sub-regions which are East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia. In April 2004, in order to align with the structure followed by the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee decided that the Central Asia and West Asia sub-regions fall under the council's responsibility. An agreement was signed on 16 May 2004 to merge the Asian Paralympic Council and theFESPIC Federation.[1] The organisation was only known by its present name by 28 November 2006 when the merger came into effect.[2]
In the following table, the year in which the NPC was recognized by theInternational Paralympic Committee (IPC) is also given if it is different from the year in which the NPC was created.
