Saudi sports minister welcomes IOC president in Riyadh

RIYADH: Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal, the minister of sports and the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s president, met Dr. Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee, in Riyadh on Saturday.
It is Bach’s fourth official visit to Saudi Arabia since his election to IOC president in 2013.
His visit reaffirms the strong relationship between the IOC and the Saudi Olympic and Paralympic Committee, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030.
This vision has made the Kingdom a global hub for major sports events, a fact underlined by last year’s announcement of a historic partnership to host the first-ever Olympic Esports Games in Saudi Arabia.
