He pointed out that infrastructure reconstruction and expansion was not only a realistic need to organize the 9th Asian Winter Games, but also provided an important guarantee for regional development.

It was a rare opportunity and an important starting point for developing the ice and snow economy, improving the quality of the city and promoting high-quality development. Now, the opening of the Games is getting closer and closer, the whole city should improve our political standing, promote the venue construction firmly and in order, and upgraded large-scale event preparation and other work. We should pay attention to the needs and follow-up utilization of the overall competition, use money wisely without formalism. It is necessary to strengthen the all-media publicity, actively create a strong atmosphere to welcome, help and serve the Games, rejuvenate the city and benefit the public, and polish the brand of "the City of Olympic Champions" and "the City of the Asia Winter Games".
