In recent weeks, a number of countries have announced that they will implement a diplomatic boycott of the Olympic Games in China, due to the country's lack of respect for human rights.
The latest country to mark in this way is Denmark.
- It is no secret that we on the Danish side are very concerned about the situation regarding human rights in China.
The government has decided that we will not attend the Winter Olympics in China, says the country's foreign minister Jeppe Kofod, according to the news agency Reuters.
Nor will the Swedish government or royal house send any representative to the Olympics.
However, this is not a position, but is motivated by the covid-19 situation.
