Guterres: The Olympics are an opportunity to overcome differences and build lasting peace

“In the next few days, our human families will be reunited for the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics,” UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in a message on Friday ahead of the Chinese Winter Olympics.

He stated that athletes from all over the world will attend this historic event while maintaining a spirit of mutual understanding, hard work and fair play.

The UN Secretary-General said the “Olympic ceasefire” calls on all parties to renounce hostilities during the Games. As conflict escalates and tensions escalate, these games represent an opportunity to overcome differences and find paths to lasting peace.

“As we work to end the Corona epidemic, let us unite for a safer, more prosperous and sustainable future for all,” Guterres said.

“I urge everyone to adhere to the ‘Olympic ceasefire’ in the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics,” he said. Let us build a culture of peace through the power of sport and the Olympic ideal.

The United Nations calls on nations to end the Olympic ceasefire, which begins seven days before the start of the Winter Olympics, by promoting peace and building happier planets through sports and Olympic ideals, in line with the Beijing Olympic Resolution for the 2022 Winter Olympics. And will observe seven days after the end of the Winter Paralympic Games.

The 2022 Winter Olympics will be held from February 4 to 20 in Beijing, the capital of China.

The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics will be held from February 4 to 20, 2022 (February 4 to March 1, 1400) and then the Paralympic Games.

With the Games in the Chinese capital, it will be the first city to host the Summer and Winter Olympics.

The United States and six countries have boycotted the China Winter Olympics in pursuit of Washington’s anti-Chinese policies in a political and unconventional move.

The US government has announced that it will not send any official or diplomatic representatives to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

A White House spokesman justified Washington’s move, claiming it was in defense of human rights in China’s Xinjiang province.

The US government has also said it will fully support its national team athletes.

But UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has announced he will attend the opening ceremony of the China Winter Olympics.

Guterres says that in this context, and without any political aspects, he intends to attend the opening ceremony of the Games with the message that the Olympic Games should be a tool for world peace.
