BERLIN (Reuters) – Any decision on whether Germany will boycott next year’s Winter Olympics in China next year will be made by the next government, a foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday.
There have been calls from human rights groups for a boycott over China’s record on human rights.
The Social Democrats, the Greens and the liberal Free Demcrats are currently in negotiations on forming a new government and are expected to take over from acting Chancelloir Angela Merkel’s conservative-led government next month.
