It is splendid to see the start of the World Forum on Sport and Culture. This event will kick off a series of activities, such as the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo, to promote culture, and also serve as a strong declaration of our commitment, inside and outside of Japan, to invigorate the country through cultural activities. I look forward to seeing this movement of cultural programs spread throughout our nation.
