Áder Meets IOC President, Lobbies For 2024 Olympics In Budapest
- 28 Sep 2015 9:00 AM
Hungarian President János Áder has met International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach in New York to outline Hungary’s arguments which would justify that Budapest should host the Olympic Summer Games in 2024. Hungary was a founding member of the IOC and the only one among the top ten medal-winners that had never hosted the Olympic Games.
It may also enhance its chances that the IOC had decided to organise the Games in a less costly and more environmentally friendly way in 2024.
Hungary’s political stability and growth course are further factors to be considered by decision makers, Áder said.
