Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, has submitted a bid to host the 2032 Olympics following the success of last year's Asian Games.
State news agency Antara reported on Tuesday Feb 19,2019 that
Indonesia's ambassador to Switzerland submitted a letter to the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) last week from President Joko
Widodo.
"The IOC has acknowledged Indonesia's capabilities
during the Asian Games and Asian Paragames of 2018," Antara quoted
Ambassador Muliaman D Hadad as saying.
"We feel that is a strong foundation."
As the host of the 2018 Asian Games, Indonesia provided a spectacular opening ceremony and exceeded its own expectations winning 30 golds, finishing fourth on the medal table.
