The ‘2023 Seoul Joint Statement’ focused on the following three aspects: 1) Spreading the Olympic spirit for future generations, 2) Solidarity for sustainable sports development which covers people with disabilities, the elderly, underdeveloped countries, and the green environment, 3) Strengthening trilateral cooperation in professional sports, anti- doping, recreational sports, and the sports industry.
