Tokyo 2020 will be the focus at two Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) regional forums in Bangkok next month.

Preparations for next year's Olympic and Paralympic Games in the Japanese capital will headline discussions at the forums, expected to be attended by delegates from across the continent.

The first will be held for representatives from East Asian and Southeast Asian countries on November 3 and 4.

National Olympic Committees (NOCs) from West Asia, Central Asia and South Asia will gather from November 5 to 6.

Both events are expected to follow the same format, with Tokyo 2020 dominating the agenda at each forum.
