United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will attend the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, his spokesman said on Thursday.
"The secretary-general received an invitation from the International Olympic Committee to attend the opening of the Beijing Winter Games and he has accepted it," spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.
"Welcome UN SG Antonio Guterres to attend the Beijing 2020 Winter Olympics. Beijing 2022 enjoys widest support and worldwide anticipation.
