On January 26, 2022, Chinese Ambassador to Mauritius Mr. Zhu Liying and the president of the National Olympic Committee of Mauritius Mr. Philippe Hao Thyn Voon HA SHUN jointly attended the theme event in support of Beijing Winter Olympics, and had friendly exchanges with Mauritian Olympic Committee members.

Ambassador Zhu mainly introduced the development of China's ice and snow sports and China's concept of "green Olympics", and said that on February 4, the Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics will be held in Beijing, the “Dual Olympic City”. Delivering a streamlined, safe and splendid Olympic Games to the world is a solemn promise made by China to the world. Under the current complex international situation, it is the common aspiration of the international community to strengthen unity and promote cooperation through the Olympic Games. In December last year, 173 countries, including Mauritius, raised the Olympic Truce resolution drafted by China at the UN General Assembly. Recently, international organizations including the United Nations and the International Olympic Committee as well as people from many countries around the world have expressed their support and expectations for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and opposed the politicization of sports.

Ambassador Zhu appreciated the contribution of the Mauritian Olympic Committee to the development of Mauritius sports. In 2019, Mauritius successfully held the Indian Ocean Island Games and achieved good results at the just-concluded Tokyo Olympics, winning applause from all over the world. For a long time, China and Mauritius have carried out good cooperation in sports training and sports infrastructure construction. Hope that the two sides will continue to have further exchanges in the future.

Mr. Philippe warmly welcomed Ambassador Zhu to the Mauritian Olympic Committee and said that in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Mauritius won its first Olympic medal. Beijing is still a place of special significance in the hearts of Mauritians in nowadays. It's grateful that with the Chinese Government and people's great efforts, the preparation of the Beijing Winter Olympics adheres to green environmental protection, and the epidemic prevention and control work is scientific, which maximizes the health and safety of athletes. It is believed that the Beijing Winter Olympics will be a wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding Olympic event.

The Beijing Winter Olympics-themed promotional video was broadcast at the event. After the event, Ambassador Zhu was interviewed by MBC.
