Some 45,000 volunteers selected for Paris 2024 Games(CGTN)

Paris 2024 will rely on a 30,000-strong team of volunteers for the Olympics, with 15,000 being mobilized for the Paralympic Games, the organizing committee announced on Friday. Some 20 percent of the volunteers will come from foreign countries. The vetting process is yet to be completed, according to the committee.

The volunteers' program kicks off on Saturday with the Volunteers Convention at the Paris La Defense Arena, with a presentation by Paris 2024 president and the unveiling of the uniforms they will wear during the Games. The Paris Games kick started their global recruiting campaign of a planned 45,000 volunteers since March last year.
