General Administration of Sport of China also required us to strictly adhere to relevant regulations on ceremonies published by the General Offices of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. In preparing the opening and closing ceremony, we positively carry out requirements on frugality, maintain a rational scale and highlight quality, striving for a wonderful, complete and successful opening and closing ceremonies of the 6th East Asian Games. ”
