Dear friends from the media,
At nightfall on Saturday 24th October, The Olympic Museum in Lausanne will be lit up in blue to celebrate United Nations (UN) day, which this year also marks the 75th anniversary of the organisation.
On this occasion, IOC President Thomas Bach conveyed his congratulations to the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, in a video message which will be released on Saturday on the IOC’s social media channels. He said:
"At the IOC we share the same values that define the UN: both our organisations are built on the values of peace and solidarity".
You can read more in this story, find a selection of a photos available on IOC Flickr account over the weekend and watch the Video News Release coming out on Sunday 25th October on the IOC Newsroom.
Many thanks,
