The Grand Duke is a member of the International Olympica Committee. After the session entitled "Sport for Peace and Development: Building a Peaceful and Better World through Sport and the Olympic Ideal", Luxembourg's head of state also held talks with Jan Eliasson, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations.
