Today, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman responded to reporters' questions about President Xi Jinping's Special Representative Shen Yiqin's attendance at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics and her visit to Serbia.
Question: A spokeswoman announced that Shen Yiqin will attend the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics and visit Serbia as a special representative of President Xi Jinping. Can you provide further details?
A: China has always placed great emphasis on the development of sports and actively participates in the international Olympic movement. In May this year, President Xi Jinping visited France and clearly expressed his support for France in hosting the Paris Olympics. Vice-Premier Han Zheng attended the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics as President Xi Jinping's special representative Shen Yiqin will attend the closing ceremony as President Xi Jinping's special representative. This fully demonstrates the importance and support China has given to the development of the international Olympic movement and the French hosting of the Games. China appreciates the successful staging of the Paris Olympic Games and wishes the Olympic Games a successful conclusion.
China and Serbia are firm friends. Under the strategic leadership of the two heads of state, Sino-Serbian relations have maintained a high level of development. In May this year, President Xi Jinping successfully made a state visit to Serbia, and the two presidents jointly announced the establishment of a community of destiny between China and Serbia in a new era, opening a new chapter in bilateral relations. During this visit, Shen Yiqin will hold in-depth discussions with the Serbian leaders on the implementation of the important agreements reached by the two presidents, ways to further deepen practical cooperation and cultural exchanges between the two countries, and taking China-Serbia relations to a new level.
