Cambodian scholar says Beijing Winter Olympics promotes solidarity, should not be politicized
PHNOM PENH, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will promote solidarity and cooperation and should not be politicized, a scholar has said.
Any attempt to politicize the Olympic Games and sport "can damage the Olympic spirit as well as the purity of the Olympic movement," Kin Phea, director-general of the International Relations Institute at the Royal Academy of Cambodia, said Wednesday.
Phea made the remarks during an international conference on China's role in the 21st century and its relations with ASEAN.
