Speaking to China Daily, the ambassador hailed Shijiazhuang's beauty and hospitality, saying the city demonstrated a real athletic, Olympic, and marathon spirit.
"The spirit in our modern days is very important, because people need to go back to the basic principles in life and evaluate what really matters," he said, adding that the Olympic exhibition is "only one of our efforts to bring our cultures and peoples together".
