Sports and traditional values are bridging global divides, says International Boxing Association (IBA) President Umar Kremlev in an exclusive interview with CGTN. The remarks came during his visit to China as part of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s delegation, spotlighting growing ties between the two nations.
Uniting Through Discipline & Health 🏅
Kremlev called Russia and China “global examples of unity,” adding: “Sports instills discipline and order – the foundation of a healthy nation. Every country should embrace this.” His words echo a broader push for cultural collaboration amid shifting geopolitical dynamics.
More Than Medals 🥊
The IBA president emphasized sports’ role beyond competition: “It’s about preserving human values and family traditions. When nations stand together, they inspire the world.” The interview highlights how athletics are becoming a soft-power tool for fostering international alliances.
