J.Batsuuri: We will relocate the Government Palace within four years
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: gogo.mn
J.Batsuuri, Minister of Urban Development, Construction, and Housing, met with leaders of NGOs in the sector.
He said, "Some of the state's functions are performed by non-governmental organizations. Therefore, today I am listening to their ideas and introducing our policies to be implemented over the next four years.
I believe that urban development, construction, and housing will develop rapidly in the next four years.
For example,
- Bridge structures that have not been implemented in Mongolia before
- A tunnel connecting Zaisan Valley of Bogd Khan Mountain with Kuwait Valley
- Metro infrastructure
- High-speed rail infrastructure
- Khoshigt Valley city along Ulaanbaatar
- Establishment of Kharkhorin city
- Urban development and housing policy in rural areas. If we make the quality of life the same for people living in cities and rural areas, the traffic jams, smog, stress, corruption, bribery, and government pressure in Ulaanbaatar will disappear.
For instance, we plan to move the Government Palace out of Ulaanbaatar city within these four years. As a result, the concentration of people heading towards ministries and agencies in the city center will disperse.
If we envision it on a large scale, the current Ulaanbaatar will immediately expand.
We will build Buyant Ukhaa, Olziit district, Khoshigt Valley city, and Maidar city to the south. This means we will build cities surrounding Bogd Khan Mountain.
On the northern side, we will create infrastructure by tunneling and crossing the big mountain from Amgalan to Tolgoit.
The new government will make budget amendments to start these major construction projects this summer and fall, without waiting for next year's budget or wasting time. If we don't implement it urgently, 2028 is just around the corner.
Previously, when a government was formed, they would wait to adjust their policies and programs in the next year's budget. But we won't work like that. We will immediately adjust the budget and get to work.
The people who will be most helpful in this work should be the non-governmental organizations in the construction and public utilities sector, and the veteran workers of different generations. That's why we're listening to the opinions of these people."

Gold price increases by 1.7 percent
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: itoim.mn
The price of gold has increased by 1.7 percent, reaching $2,464.39 per ounce. U.S. gold futures also rose by 1.7 percent in New York, reaching $2,470.10 per ounce.
Due to Federal Reserve expectations and major purchases by central banks, the price of bullion has increased by almost 20 percent. Eva Mantei, a commodities strategist at ING Bank NV, said in an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday, "More economic data supporting the Fed's main direction is supporting the gold price, so we are optimistic that U.S. interest rates will decrease." Observers note that "Due to the current geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions in the world, gold is ready to maintain its positive momentum, while central bank demand is expected to increase." The latest rise in gold is not unexpected.

North Korea Accused of Attempting to Steal Nuclear Secrets
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: news.mn
North Korean hackers are attempting to steal nuclear and military secrets from governments and private companies around the world, according to warnings from the UK, US, and South Korea.
The hacking groups known as "Andariel" and "Onyx Sleet" are believed to be targeting defense, aerospace, nuclear, and engineering organizations to obtain classified information to improve Pyongyang's military and nuclear programs and ambitions.
The group has been searching for a wide range of information, from uranium processing to tanks, submarines, and torpedoes, targeting military organizations in the UK, US, South Korea, Japan, India, and others. They have also reportedly targeted US Air Force bases, NASA, and defense companies.
This group combines espionage and money-making operations, having made repeated attempts to steal classified technological information.
The US also stated that the group funds its intelligence activities through "ransomware" operations against US health organizations. Paul Chichester, Director of Operations at the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), a branch of GCHQ, said, "The global cyber espionage operation we've uncovered today explains how North Korean state-sponsored actors operate. Therefore, critical infrastructure operators need to prioritize their security."
The US, UK, and South Korea are jointly advising on cybersecurity measures. According to these countries, North Korean hacking groups are searching for information on nuclear secrets as well as robotic machines, mechanical arms, and "3D" printing components.
Syrian President Meets with Putin
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: news.mn
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad visited Moscow and met with President Putin, according to the Kremlin. However, no specific details about the visit have been provided, so it could be about restoring relations between Damascus and Ankara.
The Syrian President expressed concern about the escalating conflicts across the Middle East and appears to be aiming to improve relations with countries such as Russia, Turkey, and Belarus.
Syria and Russia have a long-standing friendly relationship. For instance, Putin provides military assistance to Syrian President Assad. In a video released by the Kremlin, Putin asked Assad for his opinion on the conflict in the Middle East. Specifically, in the video, Putin said, "Unfortunately, tension is observed. We see this. It directly affects Syria as well. What kind of times are you going through?"
Assad replied through a Russian interpreter, "We have faced difficult challenges but managed to overcome them. Considering all the events happening in the world and the Eurasian region today, our meeting today seems very important."
Prior to this meeting, Assad and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced their readiness to restore relations between the two countries, which had been severed since 2011.

Mongolian State Flag Raised on Bogd Khan Mountain
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: montsame.mn
The event to raise the Mongolian state flag and register it in the Guinness Book of Records took place today at the sports field outside the "River Garden" complex.
On the opening day of the XXXIII Summer Olympics "Paris-2024", young people raised the world's largest state flag on the slopes of Bogd Khan Mountain, setting a Guinness World Record.
Specifically, this state flag measures 4,160 square meters. This is 729 square meters larger than the previous record holder, the Indonesian state flag.
Athletes who have made their names known on the continent and the world cut the ribbon to officially open the event and shared their impressions of raising the state flag.
MASM (Mongolian State Honored Athlete), Labor Hero M. Urantsetseg said, "The Olympic opening, which is a symbol of global unity, is taking place today. I am very happy that we are raising our state flag and breaking the Guinness World Record on this day.
I have raised our state flag and felt proud at world championships, grand slams, and Olympics. I'm feeling the same way as I did then."
B. Ochirvaani, who fulfilled his dream by cycling 14,000 km, said, "It's really exciting to see the state flag this big. Also, because it's being raised during the Olympic opening, it must have inspired the athletes. I feel inspired just like when I fulfilled my dream.
Because I compete internationally under the name of Mongolia, I always carry our state flag with me. I also honor it by placing it on my medals and trophies. From what I've noticed, young people seem to have lost their sense of pride and patriotism. So I urge them to be patriotic and love our nature and world."
NHRCM: Human lives should not be lost due to the wrongful actions of state institutions
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: itoim.mn
The National Human Rights Commission of Mongolia (NHRCM) held a press conference regarding the issue of a citizen who died while being detained in Detention Center 461.
A 21-year-old citizen O, who was being held in Detention Center 461, was taken to a medical facility but unfortunately passed away. The NHRCM is conducting an investigation into whether the rights of the deceased citizen were violated while in detention and provided information about the case.
D. Sujid: We received information from the relevant organizations immediately after the incident occurred. We are now conducting the inspection and monitoring process.
NHRCM Chairman D. Sunjid: First of all, on behalf of the NHRCM, I would like to express our deepest condolences to the family and relatives of the citizen who was taken to the Third Hospital on July 23 after being detained in Detention Center 461 and passed away. The NHRCM has the responsibility to monitor whether state organizations are fulfilling their duties. Immediately after this incident occurred, within the scope of our duties, we contacted the police, judicial enforcement agency, supervising prosecutor, hospital, and the lawyer to obtain specific information. We are now conducting the inspection and monitoring process. The NHRCM has consistently expressed a firm stance against torture, inhuman treatment, and degrading human dignity. Human lives should not be lost due to the wrongful actions of state institutions. Those responsible should be held accountable in accordance with the law. We demand that the relevant organizations provide information on each of these activities in the future. Following this, we will monitor and implement our commission's statutory duties depending on the findings and the accountability of those responsible.
G. Narantuya: Acts of torture, cruel, inhuman treatment, and degrading human dignity are related to the education of law enforcement officers.
NHRCM member G. Narantuya: This information has been circulating to the public since July 23, and the NHRCM's inspection process began on July 24. The NHRCM has been reminding authorized officials that there is no independent system for investigating torture crimes in Mongolia. We have been saying that the current system where organizations such as the Anti-Corruption Agency, General Police Department, and General Intelligence Agency investigate these cases in turns is not effective. In any case, if there is a need to restrict the movement of a patient, medical facilities should use medical methods, not handcuffs. In this case, we conclude that the use of handcuffs can be considered inhuman treatment.
The next issue is that acts of torture, cruel, inhuman treatment, and degrading human dignity are related to the education of law enforcement officers.
When reporting such tragic events that shock the public, the relevant organizations need to pay attention to not disclosing sensitive personal information and information about sentences, as well as providing balanced information.
G. Uuganbaatar: The camera recorded that the deceased citizen fell and had a seizure while using the toilet at 00:00.
G. Uuganbaatar, Head of the Complaints and Information Inspection Department of the NHRCM: The camera recorded that the deceased citizen fell and had a seizure while using the toilet in the detention room around 16:36 on July 22. Initial first aid was provided by a fellow detainee in the same detention room. About a minute later, a detention center officer is seen continuing to provide first aid. An emergency call was made to 103, and at 17:25, an emergency doctor arrived at the detention facility and provided medical assistance. Then at 18:23, the citizen was taken to the Third State Central Hospital. Treatment was provided until 23:37, when it was preliminarily determined that the individual had passed away. Two officers from the Judicial Enforcement Agency were monitoring throughout the treatment. We met with these officers as part of the inspection. They explained that handcuffs were used on the hands and feet for 50 minutes. This information needs to be confirmed by checking with the medical institution and other sources. The Judicial Enforcement Agency has admitted to using handcuffs for a certain period. We are continuing the investigation based on the records of when the citizen was taken into custody, visitation logs, treatment records, and information obtained from fellow detainees.
Police Department Instructed Not to Disclose Personal Information of Deceased Victim and Respect Their Dignity
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: ikon.mn
The Minister of Justice and Internal Affairs, O. Altangerel, met with the family representatives and lawyer of citizen O., who died while in detention at the 461st detention center, on the evening of July 25, 2024, at the Ministry of Justice and Internal Affairs.
The meeting was attended by N. Myagmar, State Secretary of the Ministry of Justice and Internal Affairs, L. Nyamgerel, Head of the Policy Implementation Coordination Department, other relevant department officials, as well as T. Ganzorig, Deputy Chief of the General Police Department, Colonel A. Namsamand, First Deputy Director of the General Executive Agency of Court Decisions and Head of the Penitentiary Service, and Police Major B. Amar, Head of the Administration and Management Department of the General Forensic Agency, along with representatives from related agencies.
Minister O. Altangerel expressed deep condolences to the family of the deceased and listened to their complaints. He then gave the following instructions to law enforcement and judicial enforcement agencies:
- The police should develop and implement guidelines for providing information, taking care not to disclose personal and sensitive information of any type of victim, especially the deceased, and not to infringe upon their honor and dignity when making statements.
- The judicial enforcement agency should thoroughly investigate the issue of allegedly handcuffing the deceased victim when they were ill and report back urgently.
- The Ministry of Justice and Internal Affairs will work on establishing an "Investigation Bureau" under the prosecutor's office to independently investigate cases involving law enforcement officers.
He stated that this meeting was not a one-time measure to extinguish the fire, but that they would continue to work closely with the family through their lawyer until this case is resolved. The Minister also announced that strict accountability measures would be taken against individuals and officials found guilty based on the results of the investigation by the Working Group appointed by the Ministry of Justice and Internal Affairs and its affiliated organizations.

Unsolved Cases Involving Police Officers
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: news.mn
Police officers have the duty to fight crime, protect public order, and ensure public safety. Citizens believe that the police will protect them. That's why they turn to the police when they are victimized or in distress. Unfortunately, there have been cases where police officers, who are supposed to protect victims, have been involved in corruption, bribery, violence, drugs, and gambling, which has drawn public criticism. In the past year, there have been several cases involving police officers, but it's unclear how most of them have been resolved, except for one.
A crime allegedly involving police officers assaulting a 13-year-old girl occurred in Selenge province on March 22, 2024. The court hearing was held yesterday, and the police officer was sentenced to 12 years in prison. The court found the defendant guilty under Article 12.1, Section 4 of the Criminal Code, which states "Committed rape against a young child," and sentenced him to 12 years in prison, to be served in an open correctional facility.
According to the recommendation of the Special Subjects Investigation Department of the Criminal Investigation Department of the National Police Agency, the case was reviewed by the General Prosecutor's Office and transferred to the Anti-Corruption Agency for jurisdiction.
N. Mishigdorj, Head of the Internal Control and Security Department of the National Police Agency:
-Recently, information about certain police officers has appeared in the digital environment. The Internal Control and Security Department of the police organization operates independently. We uncovered information through our own inspections that officers may have had sexual relations with minors, conducted relevant official investigations, and transferred the case to the Special Subjects Crime Investigation Department as it may constitute a criminal offense, which is now under investigation.
The police officers involved in the case have been dismissed from their positions, their official duties have been temporarily suspended, and an investigation is being conducted.
There is a main principle in criminal proceedings. To fully identify the person or legal entity who committed the crime, fairly impose punishment on the guilty party, and not hold anyone innocent accountable. He had previously stated that if officers are found guilty, there is no ethical obligation for the police organization to defend them.
In March 2024, a case emerged where a police officer from the Govi-Altai province police department allegedly repeatedly assaulted his 16-year-old relative who had come from the countryside. At the time, the police organization reported that they were conducting relevant investigative activities regarding this case.
Local media reported that the suspect may have assaulted his sister, who came to study at the vocational training center in the provincial center, along with two fellow officers whom he described as close friends.
When providing information, the National Police Agency stated, "That person used to work at the Govi-Altai province police department. He is no longer a police officer. We are investigating based on the complaint filed by the victim's family. Police officers did not commit the crime as a group."
In June 2023, the police organization reported that they had uncovered a case involving Z, S, and T, who were allegedly organizing illegal online gambling, and were conducting extensive investigative activities. During the investigation process, the Criminal Police Department uncovered circumstances suggesting that B, who previously worked in the police organization, may have been involved in the crime, and the case was transferred to the Anti-Corruption Agency on October 24, 2023, according to jurisdiction.
D. Manlaibaatar, Head of the Internal Control and Security Service, Police Colonel:
-We announced that officers working in our Cybercrime Department were involved in online gambling. When investigating the perpetrators of online gambling crimes, a police officer's name was associated. We are investigating within the legal framework by transferring the case to the Special Subjects Crime Investigation Department of the Investigation Bureau. Police officers are performing their official duties. The prosecutor's office will evaluate and decide whether to suspend the duties of the young officer. Since the investigation process determines guilt or innocence by compiling materials, it's not possible to determine this through the digital network.
DUNDGOVI: The 100th Anniversary Celebration of Luus Soum Begins
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: montsame.mn
The celebration and festival marking the 103rd anniversary of the People's Revolution, the 82nd anniversary of the establishment of Dundgovi Province, and the historic 100th anniversary of the founding of Luus Soum began today.
Native and resident citizens of Luus Soum, as well as many festival-goers who came to watch and enjoy the historic anniversary celebration, are participating in the grand festivities.
In the spring of 1924, a gathering of local citizens was organized at a place called Uizen, Suvarga's Zoog, where it was decided to establish the Luus Soum of Bogd Khaan Mountain Province with a structure of ten bags at a place called "Bodisogin Aman Us". Tsevegjavyn Sharav was elected as the first chairman of the soum.
When Dundgovi Province was established in 1942, Luus Soum became one of its soums, with 10 bags, 628 households, 2,700 people, and 85,800 livestock, making it one of the largest soums.
The celebration of this soum with 100 years of history began yesterday with a festive meeting and commemorative performance, while today saw a grand opening ceremony.
During the opening, herders, civil servants, and school students of the soum presented performances showcasing various aspects of nomadic people's life and culture, and awards were presented to citizens who have excelled in their work.
In the National Festival wrestling competition, 64 wrestlers are competing, including 2 wrestlers with state titles and 10 wrestlers with provincial titles.

SELENGE: Amarbayasgalant Monastery
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: montsame.mn
In the territory of Baruunburen soum of Selenge aimag, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary historical festival, the Amarbayasgalant Monastery, one of the first Yellow Buddhist monasteries of Khalkh Mongolia, stands telling its history.
Amarbayasgalant, also known as the Monastery of Undur Gegeen, is located 48 km northeast of the soum center, at the foot of "Burenkhan" mountain on the banks of the "Iven" river in the territory of Baruunburen soum, Selenge aimag, formerly known as Zasag Tserendondov's banner of the Old Tusheet Khan aimag.
This Amarbayasgalant Monastery, which was ordered to be built in this land and offered to Jebtsundamba Khutugtu, is not only a major center of Mongolian Buddhism but also one of the first monasteries in our country, established after "Erdene Zuu", the first Yellow Buddhist monastery of Khalkh Mongolia.
The monastery began construction in the 5th year of the Manchu Yongzheng Emperor, or 1727, and was completed in 1737. The structure, design, and appearance of Amarbayasgalant Monastery are amazing in that they have absorbed the style of Oriental architecture.
Amarbayasgalant Monastery, with a 160-year construction history, is still in constant operation today. This monastery, built in the early 18th century, is quite interesting as it is an architectural ensemble that has been preserved in its entirety.
Amarbayasgalant Monastery was one of the three largest monasteries in Mongolia with 6 aimags, three large datsans including Jud, Mamba, Tsanid, Manal, Ayush, Maidar, eight small datsans, 2,500 lamas, and 5,000 lamas during the assembly.
The monastery was taken under special state protection in 1944. Amarbayasgalant Monastery is said to be one of the unique and precious monuments of Mongolian history and culture, a sacred shrine dedicated to the First Bogd Undur Gegeen Zanabazar, built in the Mongolian tradition of choosing a beautiful place that harmonizes the temple monastery with nature, combining mountains, water, plants, and forests.
By Government Resolution No. 101 of April 6, 2011, the protection zone of Amarbayasgalant Monastery was set at 53,782 hectares. Currently, Amarbayasgalant Monastery operates with over 60 lamas and novices.
ZAVKHAN: Competition to select brave horse trainers to be held in Telmen Valley
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: montsame.mn
A horse trainer competition will be held on August 5 in Telmen soum of Zavkhan aimag. The "Horse Trainer" competition aims to introduce the Mongolian tradition of horse handling to children and youth, provide an opportunity to learn from the older generation, and honor brave horse trainers.
Only herder horse trainers and youth from Zavkhan aimag will participate in the competition, which will include categories such as lasso throwing, horseback lassoing, and horse breaking.
Horse trainers will draw lots and compete in the order of the draw by simultaneously lasso throwing, horseback lassoing, and tethering. The top 20 horse trainers based on total points will participate in the horse breaking category, earning points for how long they can stay mounted. In case of a tie for prize positions, there will be another round of horseback lassoing to determine the winner. Each category will be scored from 0-5 points. Contestants must bring their own horse, lasso, tether, and hobble. Each item will be inspected before each category, so participants should consider the risk of broken equipment. Horse trainers will be immediately disqualified if they exchange horses or equipment with each other. Zavkhan aimag residents who have traveled from far away may only borrow a lasso horse.
The competition will begin on August 5, and registration for participants is open from July 21 to August 3. Horse trainers must be ready according to the order for each category and be present when their name is called. Participants who consume alcohol during the competition will be immediately disqualified. Contestants and spectators are asked to maintain order during the event.
A total of 50 horse trainers will participate. The winner of the competition will be awarded a gold medal, certificate, and a Lexus RX400 car.
The second-place winner will receive a fast bloodline gelding from Sukhbaatar aimag, the third-place winner will receive 1.5 million tugriks, and the fourth and fifth place winners will receive gifts from the organizers.
Mongolians have a unique cultural heritage of horse herding and handling. Therefore, it is our duty to introduce and promote the nomadic herders' way of life and horse culture to children and youth.
The competition, which aims to preserve national heritage and traditions, produce famous horse trainers in the aimag and country, and encourage young horse trainers, will be organized annually in the future, according to Ider Ekh LLC.

Erdene Soum is celebrating its historic 100th anniversary festival.
The soum was established in early 1924 after the People's Revolution, when the Yost Beise's khoshuu (formerly Tsogtoi Gün's khoshuu) was reorganized as Süj Uul khoshuu. The north-south axis highway from Zamyn-Üüd to Ulaanbaatar, as well as 15.5 km of auxiliary road, railway, and 24-hour high-voltage power line pass through the soum's territory. It is located 600 km from Ulaanbaatar, 110 km from Sainshand city, and 130 km from Zamyn-Üüd soum.
The legendary Ulaan-Uul border outpost is located in this soum. It also has well-developed infrastructure including railways and highways. About 10 km from the soum center is the Bürden sand spa, which is known to heal human diseases and have a spiritual impact. During the previous social system, doctors from the State Clinical Hospital No. 3 studied and determined that Bürden sand has magical healing properties for acute and chronic kidney inflammation, joint and bladder inflammation.
In 2011, the area around this spa, which is under the jurisdiction of Erdene soum government, was placed under state special protection as a natural reserve category, creating opportunities for preserving the native ecosystem and developing tourism activities.
The soum government has carried out many development projects including road and square improvements and investments in preparation for the 100th anniversary. During the historic anniversary festival, there will be horse races for six age groups, archery competitions with bow and anklebone shooting, and wrestling matches showcasing skillful techniques.

Explanation for the Appearance of Uvs Lake Water Crossing the State Border on the Map
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: gogo.mn
The Border Protection Agency has provided an official explanation regarding the information that Uvs Lake has crossed the border. The explanation states:
Mongolia shares a 3543 km border with the Russian Federation, of which 680 kilometers is a water border.
Mongolia established its northern border by concluding border treaties with the Russian Federation in 1958 and 1976 between the Mongolian People's Republic and the USSR. The 1958 treaty between the two countries defined the border line in the Uvs Lake section as "running in a straight line towards the southeast direction over Uvs Lake, starting from the mouth of the Orgikh River and reaching the mouth of that river."
During the joint inspection of the state border between Mongolia and the Russian Federation from 1987 to 1996, the border marker protocol confirmed that Uvs Lake shares a 9.36 km water border with the Russian Federation in its northern section.
"This statement hereby declares that there is no possibility of changing the course of the state border line as defined and established by international treaties," they said.

Olympic Opening That Will Amaze the World and Astonish Paris Will Be Held Today
Published: Fri, 26 Jul 2024 | Translated from: news.mn
The opening of the Paris Olympic Games will be held today, or at 02:00 AM Mongolian time on the night of July 26-27. The reason this opening is being called historic is that for the first time it will not be held in a stadium, but outside the stadium. Specifically, it will be held outdoors on the banks of the Seine River.
The event will begin at the Austerlitz Bridge near the famous Jardin des Plantes garden, and six kilometers along the Seine River have been secured. They aimed to make all the historical and cultural landmarks that have become symbols of Paris, such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre Museum, part of the opening.
Over 10,000 athletes from 206 countries will march on nearly 100 boats and participate in the opening ceremony. Each boat is equipped with the latest cameras and technical equipment to capture the historic moment.
Thomas Jolly is the artistic director of the Paris Olympic opening ceremony, Victor Le Masne is the music composer, Maud Le Pladec is the choreographer and dance director, Daphné Bürki is the fashion and costume designer, and Olivier Bechiot is the senior costume master. More than two thousand dancers, 6000-8000 security workers, and organizing committee workers are working at the opening ceremony.

Jolly said that he will show the stark contrast of French culture, from rap to opera, and the uniqueness of many nationalities in his opening ceremony. Dancers will be positioned on every bridge of the Seine River.
The Olympic opening will happen as planned regardless of any issues such as worsening weather or increases or decreases in the Seine River's water level. The organizers have calculated all possible risks and prepared.
Arnaud Daniel, director of the boat company "Sodexo Live!", said, "The opening and parade will be beautiful. There's nothing to worry about. If the water level increases slightly, it's not a problem. We just need to adjust our speed. We will travel at 9-10 km per hour."
The organizers are worried that the Seine River's current might intensify due to summer thunderstorms.
Greece will open the athletes' parade at the opening ceremony, and France will close it.
Stars are gathering in Paris, known as the world fashion capital. Celebrities like Celine Dion, Lady Gaga, and Aya Nakamura are among the artists for the opening ceremony, while LeBron James, Anita Wlodarczyk, Mutaz Essa Barshim, and Gianmarco Tamberi will march with their countries' flags. Even the famous rapper "Snoop Dogg" is included in the last 30 people to carry the Olympic torch, raising expectations high.
Daniel Gabriach, a member of the team in charge of the opening, said, "Children definitely know what their Christmas gift is. But you can't tell what gift is under the Christmas tree, right? So I won't give more or less information about the opening."
The organizers are confident that the opening ceremony will amaze the world.
300,000 spectators will watch the Paris Olympic opening from the Seine River. The organizers have distributed 222,000 free tickets and sold 104,000 tickets. They also plan to set up 80 large screens throughout the city to broadcast the opening live.
It is estimated that 1.5 billion people worldwide will watch the Olympic opening live.
Paris, which is at the center of the world's attention, is a place with many protests and gatherings. As many heads of state and presidents will gather, this could also pose a potential danger. Therefore, the organizers have mobilized 30,000 police officers and are patrolling daily. It is said that law enforcement from Spain, Qatar, South Korea, Germany, Great Britain, and other countries are also working.
