With the Beijing Winter Olympics just around the corner, Xi in his letter said 
that China will deliver a streamlined, safe and splendid Winter Olympics for 
the world. 

Noting the forum is themed "Together for a High-tech Winter Olympics," Xi 
expressed his hope that participants at the forum could pool wisdom through 
discussions and contribute to showcasing the unique charm of ice and snow 
sports, carrying forward the Olympic spirit and speeding up winter sports' 
development.  

Huang Kunming, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China 
(CPC) Central Committee and head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central 
Committee, extended President Xi's congratulations.

China's confidence in hosting a successful Winter Olympics, while expressing 
his expectation of the media's role in spreading the Olympic Movement and 
promoting the Olympic spirit, said Huang, who also delivered a speech. 

China is fully prepared to provide "comprehensive, highly efficient and 
convenient services" for media outlets from around the world, said Huang, 
adding that he hopes the staff members of the media outlets report Beijing 2022 
with "innovative concepts, methods and means so as to create an objective, 
fair, positive and healthy international public opinion environment."
