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,印度邀请一些亚洲国家的体育组织代表在新德里会晤,通过由中、印、菲、韩起草的宪章。全体代表一致同意采纳“Ever Onward永远向前”为亚洲运动会的口号。迄今为止,亚运会已经举办了十五届,但是并非每一届亚运会都有自己的口号,前十届亚运会基本上都沿用了 “Ever Onward”这一口号。
