Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng will visit Beijing from Thursday to Saturday, having received an invitation to attend Friday's opening ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, the Macau Government Information Bureau (GCS) said in a statement yesterday.
The opening ceremony will take place at the National Stadium, also known as the 'Bird's Nest’, in the capital.
To comply with anti-epidemic arrangements required for the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, Ho has been following strict health monitoring rules, the statement pointed out. "This has included a point-to-point approach to managing his activities, limiting his personal appearances to essential events, where possible avoiding outings, and minimising his exposure to any other situations where he might otherwise need to have close contact with other people," the statement pointed out.During Ho's absence from Maca, Secretary for Administration and Justice Andre Cheong Weng Chon will be acting chief executive, the statement noted.
Unlike Chinese Taipei and Hong Kong, Macau is not a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
Macau's public broadcaster TDM will have full coverage of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
