"A couple of days ago we were in Grenada inaugurating a tremendous new building for its Olympic Committee and today we are here in Bogota with these beautiful facilities," he said. 

"And the truth is that it fills us with pride and hopefully more countries follow this example and can improve their offices, venues or stadiums. 

"We are open to receiving proposals to determine how we can help them."

Ilic said Panam Sports "admire" the work the COC is doing.

"We want Colombia to help us and share its examples of great development to the other countries in our region that we want to improve," he added.
