“Your presence here today, dear Prime Minister, is a testimony
to [the] growing importance of Olympic sport in your wonderful
country. This is why I am offering you a very warm welcome –
thank you, Mr Prime Minister, for gracing us with your presence.
India is an inspiring place to hold our IOC Session – a country that
combines a splendid history and a dynamic present with a vigorous
confidence in the future,” the IOC President said.
