It is with extraordinary pleasure that I welcome you, dear choir members from<br />
all over the world, to the 12 th <strong>World</strong> <strong>Choir</strong> <strong>Games</strong> in <strong>Gangneung</strong> (Republic of<br />
Korea). In the spirit of the <strong>Choir</strong> Olympic ideals ”Participation is the highest<br />
honor“ and ”Singing together brings Nations together“, it is our goal to bring<br />
people of many nations together in order to bear witness in common singing and<br />
peaceful competition, again and again, that mankind can and must go peaceful<br />
ways of living together. This goal is symbolically served by our common singing, in<br />
whatever language we demonstrate it.<br />
