"An important opportunity to showcase the achievements of scientific and technological innovation"

"In order to ensure the safe and smooth holding of such a major international event as the Winter Olympics, China has invested huge manpower, material resources and energy." Recently, Mexico's ambassador to China, Syyad, said in an interview with this reporter.

Shiyad said that at present, the new crown pneumonia epidemic is still spreading around the world, and China's epidemic prevention and control policies and measures are effective. "The Beijing Winter Olympics is the focus of the world's attention and an important opportunity to showcase the achievements of scientific and technological innovation. Whether it is from the perspective of science and technology to help epidemic prevention, the use of resources more efficiently and sustainably, or the innovation of the logistics support mechanism of athletes, we have personally experienced the importance of science and technology to the event. ”

Shi Yade previously participated in the Olympic briefing of foreign envoys in China, and visited the "Bird's Nest", "Ice Cube" and the National Speed Skating Hall "Ice Ribbon" and other Winter Olympic venues. "I was impressed by the Shougang Park. After planning and renovation, a new ice and snow sports venue was born on the industrial site, which not only provides a high-standard competition venue for the Winter Olympic Games, but also becomes a place for leisure and entertainment for future citizens. Schyard said.

Mexican athletes have participated in several consecutive Winter Olympic Games. "We look forward to seeing the Mexican flag raised on the Olympic field in Beijing." Schyard said that this Winter Olympics has received great attention from the Mexican people. He said that Mexico participated in the 2010 Shanghai World Expo and participated in the first China International Import Expo held in 2018 as the guest of honor, witnessing China's excellent organizational coordination ability and Chinese hospitality in the field of large-scale activities.

Schyadh said the Mexican government has always been committed to promoting closer sports cooperation with China. The Beijing Winter Olympics will become a good opportunity for the two sides to strengthen sports cooperation, and the two countries can explore the establishment of information, science and technology and expert exchange mechanisms through sports exchanges. "On February 14 this year, the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Mexico and China, the Mexican Embassy in China will host a series of activities to promote bilateral sports exchanges and let Chinese people understand mexican traditional riding and freestyle wrestling and other special sports, as well as Mexico's internationally competitive sports."
