Updating the visitors on BOCOG preparatory work for the Games, Liu said the
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games provides an important opportunity to deepen mutual
understanding between the Chinese and American people.
He described NBC as the most important rights-holding broadcaster of the
Olympic Games, which plays a special role in international Olympic movement and
Olympic television broadcasting, and expressed hopes that NBC's broadcasting on
the Beijing Games will help Americans obtain more clear and concrete knowledge
about Beijing and China as a whole.
Committed to staging a high-level Olympics with distinguishing features,
BOCOG will provide quality and speedy services for international media in line
with international practice and successful experiences of previous editions of
the Olympic Games, the BOCOG chief added.
"We hope that the media will increase communications with us and make joint
efforts to achieve a successful Olympiad," Liu said.
In his reply, Ebersol said his company will further communicate with BOCOG
and relevant Chinese government departments and do its best to broadcast the
2008 Games and as a result, it will enable Americans to know better about
Beijing and China. He gave friendly advice on opening and closing ceremonies as
well as the torch relay of the Beijing Olympics.
Present at the meeting were Beijing Vice Mayor and BOCOG Executive Vice
President Liu Jingmin and BOCOG Executive Vice President Jiang
Xiaoyu.
