“Seven years ago we made the same commitment, and we delivered. We will do the same,” he added, as Paris gears up to host the 2024 Summer Olympics that starts from 26 July. The Summer Olympics in the French capital will run till 11 August.
France is the only candidate to host the Games but the funding has been in question because there is no government in place following inconclusive snap elections. Macron said France wanted to show “the rest of the world that the Winter Games are not just history – and we are proud to be part of it – but part of our future.”
