In the past 14 years, China has "changed" a lot. The economy and society are changing with each passing day, science and technology are constantly advancing, and the green concept has been significantly improved. However, China's friendship and solidarity, sincerity and fraternity remain the same as before.

International Samaranch Jr., chairman of the Beijing Winter Olympics Coordination Committee of the Olympic Committee, said.
