在北京2022年冬奧會(huì)歡迎宴會(huì)上的致辭

（2022年2月5日）

中華人民共和國(guó)主席習(xí)近平

尊敬的巴赫主席，

尊敬的各位同事，

女士們，先生們，朋友們：

在中國(guó)人民歡度新春佳節(jié)的喜慶日子里，同各位新老朋友在北京相聚，我感到十分高興。首先，我代表中國(guó)政府和中國(guó)人民，代表我的夫人，并以我個(gè)人的名義，對(duì)來(lái)華出席北京冬奧會(huì)的各位嘉賓，表示熱烈的歡迎！向所有關(guān)心和支持北京冬奧會(huì)的各國(guó)政府、各國(guó)人民及國(guó)際組織表示衷心的感謝！我還要特別感謝在座的各位朋友克服新冠肺炎疫情帶來(lái)的困難和不便，不遠(yuǎn)萬(wàn)里來(lái)到北京，為冬奧喝彩、為中國(guó)加油。

昨晚，北京冬奧會(huì)在國(guó)家體育場(chǎng)正式開(kāi)幕。時(shí)隔14年，奧林匹克圣火再次在北京燃起，北京成為全球首個(gè)“雙奧之城”。中國(guó)秉持綠色、共享、開(kāi)放、廉潔的辦奧理念，全力克服新冠肺炎疫情影響，認(rèn)真兌現(xiàn)對(duì)國(guó)際社會(huì)的莊嚴(yán)承諾，確保了北京冬奧會(huì)如期順利舉行。

讓更多人參與到冰雪運(yùn)動(dòng)中來(lái)，是奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)的題中之義。中國(guó)通過(guò)籌辦冬奧會(huì)和推廣冬奧運(yùn)動(dòng)，讓冰雪運(yùn)動(dòng)進(jìn)入尋常百姓家，實(shí)現(xiàn)了帶動(dòng)3億人參與冰雪運(yùn)動(dòng)的目標(biāo)，為全球奧林匹克事業(yè)作出了新的貢獻(xiàn)。

女士們、先生們、朋友們！

自古以來(lái)，奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)承載著人類對(duì)和平、團(tuán)結(jié)、進(jìn)步的美好追求。

——我們應(yīng)該牢記奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)初心，共同維護(hù)世界和平。奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)為和平而生，因和平而興。去年12月，聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)協(xié)商一致通過(guò)奧林匹克休戰(zhàn)決議，呼吁通過(guò)體育促進(jìn)和平，代表了國(guó)際社會(huì)的共同心聲。要堅(jiān)持相互尊重、平等相待、對(duì)話協(xié)商，努力化解分歧，消弭沖突，共同建設(shè)一個(gè)持久和平的世界。

——我們應(yīng)該弘揚(yáng)奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)精神，團(tuán)結(jié)應(yīng)對(duì)國(guó)際社會(huì)共同挑戰(zhàn)。新冠肺炎疫情仍在肆虐，氣候變化、恐怖主義等全球性問(wèn)題層出不窮。國(guó)際社會(huì)應(yīng)當(dāng)“更團(tuán)結(jié)”。各國(guó)唯有團(tuán)結(jié)合作，一起向未來(lái)，才能有效加以應(yīng)對(duì)。要踐行真正的多邊主義，維護(hù)以聯(lián)合國(guó)為核心的國(guó)際體系，維護(hù)以國(guó)際法為基礎(chǔ)的國(guó)際秩序，共同建設(shè)和諧合作的國(guó)際大家庭。

——我們應(yīng)該踐行奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)宗旨，持續(xù)推動(dòng)人類進(jìn)步事業(yè)。奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)的目標(biāo)是實(shí)現(xiàn)人的全面發(fā)展。要順應(yīng)時(shí)代潮流，堅(jiān)守和平、發(fā)展、公平、正義、民主、自由的全人類共同價(jià)值，促進(jìn)不同文明交流互鑒，共同構(gòu)建人類命運(yùn)共同體。

女士們、先生們、朋友們！

“爆竹聲中一歲除，春風(fēng)送暖入屠蘇?！敝袊?guó)剛剛迎來(lái)農(nóng)歷虎年?；⑾笳髦α俊⒂赂?、無(wú)畏，祝愿奧運(yùn)健兒像虎一樣充滿力量、創(chuàng)造佳績(jī)。我相信，在大家共同努力下，北京冬奧會(huì)一定會(huì)成為簡(jiǎn)約、安全、精彩的奧運(yùn)盛會(huì)而載入史冊(cè)。

最后，我提議，大家共同舉杯，

為國(guó)際奧林匹克運(yùn)動(dòng)蓬勃發(fā)展，

為人類和平與發(fā)展的崇高事業(yè)，

為各位嘉賓和家人的健康，

干杯！

Toast by H.E. Xi Jinping

President of the People's Republic of China

At the Welcoming Banquet of

The Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022

5 February 2022

IOC President Thomas Bach,

Dear Colleagues,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

It gives me great pleasure to meet so many old and new friends in Beijing as the Chinese people celebrate the Spring Festival, the start of the lunar new year. Let me begin by extending, on behalf of the Chinese government and people, and in the name of my wife and myself, a warm welcome to all the distinguished guests travelling to China and attending the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. I sincerely thank all governments, peoples and international organizations that care about and support the Beijing Olympic Winter Games. In particular, I wish to express my appreciation to all the friends present here who have overcome difficulties and inconveniences caused by COVID-19 and come all the way to Beijing to cheer for the Olympic Winter Games and for China.

Last night, the Beijing Olympic Winter Games officially opened at China's National Stadium. After 14 years, the Olympic cauldron has been lit once again in Beijing, making the city the world's first to host both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. Committed to organizing a green, inclusive, open and clean Games, China has made every effort to counter the impact of COVID-19, earnestly fulfilled its solemn pledge to the international community, and ensured the smooth opening of the Beijing Olympic Winter Games as scheduled.

Greater public participation in winter sport contributes to the Olympic Movement. By preparing for and organizing the Olympic Winter Games and promoting Olympic winter sport, China has popularized winter sport among the ordinary people, achieved the goal of engaging 300 million Chinese in sport on snow and ice, and made new contribution to the cause of Olympism worldwide.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

Since ancient times, the Olympic Movement has carried humanity's aspirations for peace, solidarity and progress.

- We shall keep in mind the original aspiration of the Olympic Movement and jointly uphold world peace. The Olympic Movement was born for the sake of peace and has thrived thanks to peace. The Olympic Truce Resolution adopted last December by consensus at the United Nations General Assembly, calling for promoting peace through sport, represents the common aspiration of the international community. We need to uphold mutual respect, equality, dialogue and consultation, strive to bridge differences and eliminate conflict, and work together for a world of durable peace.

- We shall promote the spirit of the Olympic Movement and meet the common challenges facing the international community through solidarity. The COVID-19 pandemic is still raging, while global issues including climate change and terrorism keep emerging. The international community should stand closer together. The only way for all countries to address the various challenges effectively is to strengthen solidarity and cooperation and work together for a shared future. We need to practice true multilateralism, uphold the international system centered on the United Nations and the international order underpinned by international law, and work together to build an international family of harmony and cooperation.

- We shall act on the purpose of the Olympic Movement and continuously pursue human progress. The Olympic Movement aims to achieve well-rounded human development. We need to follow the trend of the times, stay true to humanity's common values of peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom, promote exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations, and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

To borrow a Chinese poetic line, "Out goes the old year with the sound of firecrackers; in comes the new with the warmth of wine and spring breeze." China has just entered the Year of the Tiger according to the lunar calendar. Tiger is a symbol of strength, courage and fearlessness. I wish all Olympic athletes excellent performance with the strength of the tiger. I am confident that with the joint efforts of us all, Beijing 2022 will surely go down in history as a streamlined, safe and splendid Olympic Games.

To conclude, I propose a toast:

To the dynamic development of the Olympic Movement;

To humanity's noble cause of peace and development; and

To the health of all distinguished guests and your families.

Cheers!
