TOKYO: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday (Feb 3) has vowed that the outbreak of a new virus that has killed more than 360 people in neighbouring China will not have any impact on the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics this summer.

Abe said he will work with international officials including the World Health Organisation to ensure preparations for the games are not disrupted.

Japan's sports and Olympic officials will hold a meeting later this week to discuss the outbreak and Tokyo's efforts to prevent a further spread, Olympic minister Seiko Hashimoto said.
