Lima Mayor reaffirms support for 2019 Pan Am Games

10:05 | Lima, Mar. 25.

The Mayor of Lima Jorge Muñoz Wells reaffirmed his commitment to the Peruvian capital city in order to ensure the success of the Lima 2019 Pan American Games.

"We are committed in our preparations to bringing about the best possible manifestation of the Games," he commented.

"I'm impressed with what is being built in the venues, which will remain as a legacy, as will the pools in La Videna. The same is true for the velodrome. There, anyone will be welcome to come ride their bike," Muñoz added.

His statements were made after meeting the Minister of Sports of Chile, Pauline Kantor; the President of Panam Sports, Neven Ilic; and the President of Lima 2019, Carlos Neuhaus.

The purpose of such meeting was to inform the representatives about the progress and coordination of the Organizing Committee of the Pan American and Para-Pan American Games, together with the capital city, towards the realization of the most important multi-sport event in the continent.

Carlos Neuhaus, for his part, highlighted the constant support that he has received from the mayor of Lima since his election in 2018.

"We've been working together since the mayor was elected. Lima will play its role as host of the Pan American and Para-Pan American Games excellently. We have advanced so much in our coordination, and now our main objective is to put on the very best Games," he emphasized.
