However, the Olympics are also a means of diplomacy and as an intermediary for dialogue and building harmonious relations between countries in the world.

In 1972 hockey diplomacy also succeeded in creating harmony between Canada and the Soviet Union, and in 2011 cricket diplomacy became a catalyst for improving geopolitical relations between Pakistan and India.
