A photo exhibition of the preparation work for the 2008 Beijing
Olympic Games was launched here Wednesday at Hungary's Lorand
University.
Liu Wenqing, cultural counselor of the Chinese embassy in
Hungary, and Jeno Kamuti, secretary general of Hungarian Olympic
Committee, attended the opening ceremony.
Addressing the ceremony, Liu introduced Beijing's preparations
for the 29th Olympic Games, which will begin on August 8. He hoped
that by hosting the Olympic Games, China will not only draw the
world's attention to its sports, but also to its people and
culture.
The exhibition, from January 30 to February 15 in the arboretum
of the university, serves to strengthen the friendship and cultural
communication between people in China and Hungary, Liu said.
Kamuti was confident the Beijing Olympics will be the best in
history, and that the Games will embody unprecedented cultural and
humanistic significance.
The 60 photos on display, provided by the culture office of
China's Embassy in Hungary, cover a wide range of themes including
the construction of the Olympic stadiums, the training of athletes,
the active participation of Chinese citizens, as well as the
infrastructure in Chinese cities.
