Wang Kai, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Jilin Provincial Committee and Secretary of the CPC Changchun Municipal Committee, met with the foreign guests invited to the Changchun 2020 Jingyue Lake Vasaloppet International Skiing Festival Saturday evening on January 4, 2020.  

“Over the past 18 years, Changchun Vasaloppet International Skiing Festival, jointly promoted by the two sides, has developed into a platform featuring diversified prosperity of cross-country skiing, sports and cultural exchanges, economic and trade cooperation and development. Changchun is now striving to speed up the development of ice and snow economy. It is hoped that the two sides will further strengthen cooperation and take snow as the medium to deepen economic, trade and cultural exchanges, promote the development of ice and snow equipment, ice and snow sport, ice and snow tourism, ice and snow culture and other industries, implement in place the concept of ‘ice and snow make mountains of gold and silver ‘, and thus create a new engine for the high-quality socioeconomic development of Changchun City,” said Wang Kai at the meeting, adding, “We hope our guests from all walks of life will learn more about our city, publicize our city to the outside world so as to help our city, open and full of vitality, reach out faster to the world.” 

“This trip has left me an unforgettable impression about Changchun. Your effort has made a well-organized ice and snow event in your beautiful city. Hopefully, our cooperation on Vasaloppet will be further deepened to achieve mutual benefits and win-win results,” said Director of Vasaloppet and Ski Federation of Mora, Sweden.
