Governor Koike’s comments

It is very encouraging to note that support for the holding of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 was expressed in the G7 Summit communiqué.

I believe that the G7 leaders reiterated their support for the Games in recognition of the initiatives taken by Japan and Tokyo.

With less than 40 days to go to the Olympic Games, we will, in collaboration the Government of Japan, the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee and other stakeholders, continue to steadily shore up preparations for the Games to provide a safe and secure environment for everyone, including the athletes, games officials and others coming to Tokyo from around the world.
