The 2012 Olympic Games will go ahead in London despite security concerns following last week's terror attacks in the British capital, International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge said in Hong Kong on July 11.

"We'll keep the Games in London. There's absolutely no reason to reconsider that," Rogge told a news conference in Hong Kong.

London was last Wednesday awarded the right to host the 2012 Olympics, but a day later at least 49 people were killed by bombings on a bus and subway trains in London.

"We trust the London organizers to secure the best possible security arrangements in 2012," Rogge said.

"No city in the world can claim that nothing will happen in each city."

Rogge is on a three-day visit to Hong Kong.
