France will not participate in a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics, French Education

Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer said on Thursday.

This comes after the US, UK, Australia and

Canada said they will not send their government officials to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing because of China's human rights record. Blanquer added that French Sports Minister Roxana

Maracineanu will attend.
