Three sports sessions are scheduled for Tokyo on the "Appeal of Rugby, Power of the Rugby World Cup," "The Legacies Created by the Olympics and Paralympics" and "Sports Ministers' Meeting."

Among them, at the Sports Ministers' Meeting, we plan to have discussions with the ministers from each country about "Sport for Tomorrow" as the main subject. This is aimed at improving the sports environment toward the future and changing society through sports, based on the discussions on sports at many international venues, including the UNESCO World Sport Ministers Conference.

On this occasion, we plan to set up three sessions: "Sports for Development and Peace," "Sports for All" and "Sports Integrity Protection," which are the keys for "Sport for Tomorrow." As the host country of large-scale international sporting events, such as the Rugby World Cup 2019 and the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Japan will take the initiative through these sessions in exchanging opinions and information among sports ministers from each country. I hope this forum will lead to further international discussions on sports.
