TOKYO: The International Olympics Committee will undertake “great efforts” to ensure that those visiting Japan to watch the Summer Games next year can be vaccinated, IOC President Thomas Bach told reporters on Monday.

He said he was confident that spectators would be able to watch the Games in stadiums safely.

Bach is on a two-day visit in Japan to meet with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and Games organisers to discuss how the Olympics can be held next year.
