Based on the legacy of the Tokyo 2020 Games, we will discuss the meaning and potential of sport in society in cooperation with the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs as we consider and implement sport in a form that is more pervasive in social life.
Then, we will hold a send-off party for athletes and staff members who will compete in the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
