This Tuesday, His Royal Highness the Grand Duke participated in a meeting of the Olympic Solidarity Commission in Barcelona, of which he has been a member since 1999.

S.A.R. the Grand Duke was co-opted as a member of the International Olympic Committee at the February 1998 session held in Nagano, Japan, and has since been actively engaged in the promotion of Olympic values.

Olympic Solidarity's mission is to organise assistance to National Olympic Committees, particularly those who need them most, through multi-dimensional programmes focused on athlete development, coach training and Sports leaders, and the promotion of Olympic values.
