Panel Session

National sports as a model of international cooperation

  • /
In order to create a system of international sports cooperation that meets modern challenges, the Committee of National and Non-Olympic Sports of Russia is working purposefully to develop a new international cultural and sports communication system based on national and non-Olympic sports that meets modern external and internal challenges.

International games in national and non-Olympic sports can become a new direction of the sports agenda in the international sports arena, make a significant contribution to changing the worldview of the peoples of the world, the importance of fostering respect for the traditional values of other states. Today, holding sports events in national and non-Olympic sports without any form of discrimination, intolerance based on gender, race, nationality and citizenship is the main advantage in preserving traditional values, mutual respect and strengthening interstate relations based on distinctive cultural and sporting traditions.

  • Experience in the development of national sports and their popularization at the international level (wushu, mas-wrestling). Successful practices in the development of national sports at the state level

  • Expert’s view: how do we see comprehensive sports events in national and non-Olympic sports at the global level? Prospects and potential for further development of national and non-Olympic sports
