Shen Yiqin, the Special Representative and State Councilor of the Chinese mainland, is set to attend the closing ceremony of the 33rd Olympic Games in Paris from August 9 to 11. This marks China's continued commitment to the development of sports and active participation in the international Olympic Movement.
Following the Olympics, Shen will visit Serbia from August 12 to 14 at the invitation of the Serbian government. This visit underscores the strong bilateral relations between the Chinese mainland and Serbia, which have been steadily growing under the strategic guidance of both nations.
\"China deeply values and supports the international Olympic cause and applauds France for successfully hosting the Paris 2024 Games,\" said Mao Ning, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Shen's participation in the closing ceremony highlights the importance China places on global sports events.
During his upcoming trip to Serbia, Shen will engage in discussions with Serbian leaders to enhance practical cooperation and foster deeper people-to-people and cultural exchanges. This visit aims to further elevate China-Serbia relations, building upon the foundation established during President Xi Jinping's state visit to Serbia in May.
