Taipei, April 9, 2021: Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee celebrated the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace on April 6. It was the third year in a row that CTOC had marked this significant global occasion.  

As usual, CTOC invited elite national athletes in different sports to show support for peace through the #WhiteCard campaign, which is a symbol of the peace-through-sport movement. 

Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee, said: “Sport and physical activity contribute directly to physical and mental health, and to combating both non-communicable and communicable diseases.”
