During the meeting, the two leaders also agreed to continue their cooperation to address the issue of corruption in sport and in such a way to support the credibility of sport and the Olympic Games.
The IOC President also invited China to take part in a meeting of the International
Sport Integrity Partnership alongside the International Forum for Sport Integrity in Lausanne in early 2017. The IOC’s initiative was already welcomed in the closing declaration of the International Anti-Corruption Summit organised by British Prime Minister David Cameron last Thursday in London.
