"I appreciate the efforts of the Gwangju Organising Committee for their speedy preparation during the short period," he said.

"FISU inspection delegates always emphasise the partnership and friendship between the Organising Committee and the FISU, which means that we have to share knowledge and exchange opinions on the Universiade," said a statement.

"We are confident that Gwangju will make the best Universiade ever through close cooperation with the FISU."

Following the inspection, the FISU International Technical Committee will arrive in Gwangju on November 26 and stay until December 9 to aid Gwangju 2015.
