Hong Kong is the only nation that had hosted the FESPIC Youth Games, hence it was the first and only time Hong Kong hosted the games. The games was opened by Tung Chee Hwa at the Ma On Shan Sports Ground.

The final medal tally was led by China, followed by Malaysia, Japan, and host Hong Kong. Several games and national records were broken during the games. The games were deemed generally successful with the rising standard of disabled sports competition among the Pacific and Asian nations for other active sports tournaments. Later in 2006, the FESPIC organisation was officially defunct, and since then, the Asian Countries participate at the Asian Youth Para Games beginning with the 2009 edition in Tokyo, Japan.
