Wrapping up a two-day orientation seminar, which hopes to provide a blueprint for Tokyo going forward as it prepares for the 2020 Games, Gilbert Felli, the executive director for the Olympic Games, stressed the importance of hands-on involvement and coordination.
The International Olympic Committee's delegation, led by Felli, shared advice with organizers and their partners on managing the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Tokyo plans to launch its organizing committee in February and must decide on a committee head. Former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori has been linked with the job.
