BEIJING – With just 30 days until the Olympics opens, officials of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 29th Olympiad (BOCOG) gathered here on Wednesday to review preparations for the event, with security and stadium management as priorities.
In the next 30 days, the country will repeatedly test its security measures to ensure the safety of the coming torch relay in Beijing, the events and the venues, BOCOG vice president, Xi Jinping, said.
The local governments of Beijing and its neighbouring provinces were urged to finalize their security measures and develop contingency plans.
Another major task will be to have test runs of the venues and improve their efficiency and management, Xi said.
Xi also urged enhancement of the "civilisation campaign" and etiquette education among the public. He said that local spectators should respect players from all over the world, to present a good image of China as a "country of etiquette."
