Paris, Dec 9 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 9th Dec, 2021 ) :France will not join a diplomatic boycott by other Western countries of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing, education and Sports Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer said Thursday.
Asked about a boycott announced by the United States, Australia, Britain and Canada, Blanquer told RMC radio and BFM television that France "won't do it".

"Sports is a world apart that needs to be protected from political interference. If not, things can get out of control and it could end up killing all of the competitions."
