The ambition is to have another round of the World Cup next year, the head of state said and added that he had an invitation for a meeting with president of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach. The country will declare its ambition to apply for hosting the Winter Youth Olympic Games. 

"I think we already have the potential and most importantly we have well-prepared people.
