东京奥运可能闭门举行?
Olympics behind closed doors? Tokyo 2020 spokesman Masa Takaya on Tuesday did not rule out the possibility of hosting the postponed Olympic Games behind closed doors while insisting that nobody wants to see the Games without spectators. Japan's JIJI Press last week quoted an unnamed Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) executive, who is "close" to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, as saying that the Games "should definitely take place, even without spectators." Takaya told reporters at a news conference that such a topic related to the countermeasures of the COVID-19 has to be addressed after thorough discussions among the key parties - the national government, the Tokyo metropolitan government and Tokyo 2020 organizing committee. "This autumn onwards, we will have a meeting body attended by these three parties, so we will see the outcome of this meeting body." |
