Nǐ hǎo Beijing!

Hello Beijing!

Congratulations to every Olympian and Paralympian participating in the 2022 Winter Games.

The Olympic spirit is one of peace, mutual respect, and understanding.

The young competitors embody these qualities and inspire us all.

It is my fervent hope that this spirit goes far beyond these Olympics, to remind everyone – participants and viewers – that we belong to the same human family.

There is no limit to what we can achieve when we work together – for peace, for human rights, and for healthy lives and wellbeing for everyone.

Let the Olympic spirit of fair play and solidarity shine throughout the games and beyond.

Xièxiè! Thank you!

北京你好!
 
你好北京!

祝贺参加2022年冬奥会、冬残奥会的每一位奥运选手和残奥选手!

奥林匹克精神包含着热爱和平、相互尊重、相互理解。

年轻的参赛者们就体现了这些品质,你们激励着我们所有人。

我热切希望这种精神远远超越本届冬奥会、冬残奥会,提醒包括参赛者和观众在内的每一个人:我们同属于人类大家庭。

只要我们为和平、为人权、为每个人的健康生活与福祉而携手合作,所能取得的成就将是无限的。

让我们在整个冬奥会、冬残奥会期间以及之后不断发扬光大公平竞争、团结友爱的奥林匹克精神!
