"The Hangzhou Asian Games is not only an event for the development and showcasing of athletes' maximum competitiveness, but also at the same time, through the exchange of diverse cultures among nations to further strengthen the relationships among the people. Everyone will bring their own proud culture to deepen mutual understanding and communication through sports as a bridge. Hangzhou is a city of Zhejiang Province with a long history and beautiful scenery. This Asian Games will perfectly showcase the beauty of Chinese culture and the distinctive features of Hangzhou. As the Olympic motto says, Faster, Higher, Stronger - Together. In addition to the competition, I also hope that athletes from different countries can build strong friendships. We are good friends no matter which country we are from."
