2021-12-14
Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on the 13th that the declaration of the 10th Olympic summit issued a common voice of the international sports community to support the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and oppose the politicization of sports. Individual countries stand on the opposite side of the international community and use the Beijing Winter Olympics to engage in political shows and manoeuvres, which is unpopular and will never succeed. A reporter asked: the 10th Olympic summit was recently held through online meetings. The announcement of the summit pointed out that the holding of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games will open a new era of global winter sports. The summit resolutely opposed the "politicization" of the Olympic movement and sports, and stressed the importance of maintaining political neutrality among the IOC, the Olympic Games and the whole Olympic movement. Could the spokesman give further information? Wang Wenbin said that the IOC held the 10th Olympic summit by video on December 11. International sports officials such as IOC President Bach and the presidents of major international federations, as well as officials of relevant national Olympic committees such as China, Russia and the United States, attended the summit. He pointed out that in response to the announcement of individual countries not to send government officials to the Beijing Winter Olympics, the summit issued a declaration, resolutely opposed the politicization of the Olympic movement and sports, and stressed the importance of maintaining political neutrality among the IOC, the Olympic Games and the Olympic movement. The declaration also welcomes the adoption by consensus of the Olympic truce resolution proposed by 173 countries at the 76th UN General Assembly, saying that this reflects the strong support of United Nations Member States for the Beijing Winter Olympics. "The summit declaration issued a common voice of the international sports community in supporting the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and opposing the politicization of sports, which once again shows that individual countries stand on the opposite side of the international community and use the Beijing Winter Olympic Games to engage in political shows and manoeuvres are unpopular and will never succeed." Wang Wenbin said. (outlook new era)
