On Friday, Mr Raja met with Mr Koster and the country’s sports minister Dito Ariotedjo to iron out differences and ensure that the World Beach Games, which bring together 1,600 athletes from 130 countries, goes ahead.

The 2023 ANOC World Beach Games is the second iteration of the event following its 2019 inaugural run in Qatar.
