“For us, it is important not only to support our athletes at all major competitions but also to showcase our country’s culture and hospitality to the world. The famous Kazakh chocolate, which has long been a traditional gift taken by our athletes to competitions abroad, will receive a new packaging specifically for the Olympics,” said NOC Secretary General Zhanar Utesheva.
The NOC press service reported on July 11 that a special batch of chocolate will head to Paris with the national team. Representatives of the sports delegation will be able to enjoy it with other Olympic participants, extending the Kazakh hospitality.
