The President expressed his confidence that the 2013 Universiade will be a success and said that he was counting on assistance from international sports organisations.
Dmitry Medvedev stressed that Russia is ready to cooperate with international sports organisations at every level – at the level of the Government Cabinet, through Russia’s sports associations and the Russian Olympic Committee – on all matters related to sport, from the development of modern technologies in sport to such sensitive but at the same time very important issues for every country, Russia included, as anti-doping policy.
The leaders of international sports organisations are in Kazan to participate in the National Sports Forum: Russia – Country of Sports.
