30 июня 2019

The games in Minsk became a vivid example of the demonstration of not only sports spirit, but also sports diplomacy. World leaders, leaders of major international organizations and a dozen national Olympic committees members visited Belarus these days. Our country has once again become the center of a large dialogue at the highest level.

The first guest was a unique expert in the field of tourism, the Secretary General of a specialized organization in the structure of the United Nations.

The meeting with the Minister of Reconstruction of Japan was really special.

The land of the rising sun was the first to help Belarus with Chernobyl, together they studied the effects of radiation, which later helped to localize Fukushima. Technologically, new projects have no obstacles. Scientists from Japan have been working closely with the Academy of Sciences of Belarus for a long time. They value our school of heat and mass transfer - and this is energy, engines and new materials, from earth to space. The minister admits that we need to work seriously for the new quality of relations.

The head of the IOC is certainly interested in Belarus' infrastructure readiness for any sports mega-forums.
