The President sent a welcoming message to athletes, coaches, judges, volunteers and honoured guests of the opening ceremony of the Second Children of Asia International Winter Sports Games.
The message reads, in part:
“Children of Asia is an interesting and successful youth sports project uniting talented and passionate youngsters from various Russian regions and a number of Asian countries at its venues.
This year the prestigious competition is hosted by Kuzbass, which is rightfully renowned for its sports traditions, the beauty and power of Siberian nature and the warm hospitality of its residents.
I am confident that the Second Children of Asia International Winter Sports Games will be held at the highest organisational level, and will become a true celebration of sport, creativity and companionship. And it will naturally provide the young participants with a great opportunity to get acquainted with the history and sights of the Kemerovo Region.”
