Regarding the Tokyo Olympics, which started on the 23rd in the midst of the corona, three economic organizations such as Keidanren announced their comments calling for the realization of a safe and secure Games, based on the declaration of an emergency.
Of these, Keidanren Chairman Tokura said, "It was an unusual event to be held under a state of emergency, but the safety and security of athletes, related parties, spectators, and the people are the top priorities for management. It is a pity that many of the competitions will be held without spectators, but I hope that by refraining from going out during the period and supporting the activities of athletes, we will strive to be compatible with infectious disease countermeasures and lead to the success of the competition. " ..
Chairman Mimura of the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry said, "It is very unfortunate that the event was held under a state of emergency, but the whole world is paying attention to the operation of the event in Corona. Realization and success will give the world great courage and hope, and will be a legacy that will be passed down to future generations. I hope that the world will be a great impetus to overcome the corona wreck. "
In addition, Mr. Sakurada, the secretary-general of the Keizai Doyukai, said, "Since this tournament will be held in an unusual situation under the declaration of an emergency, extremely advanced operations that balance competition management and infection spread prevention measures are required. In order to achieve this, I want you to make the most of Japan's on-site capabilities and realize a safe and secure competition. "
The top executives of the three economic groups have forgotten to attend the opening ceremony on the 23rd.
