"Whether it's venues, transportation, hotels and other service facilities, Guangzhou can provide complete facilities to support international events. I believe Guangzhou has the ability and confidence to host any international large-scale event." Recently, Hussein Al Muslam, Director General of the Asian Olympic Council and President of the World Swimming Federation, visited Guangzhou and gave an interview to a reporter from the New Express. In the interview, he gave high praise to the preparation work for the Guangzhou 15th National Games and Paralympics, and reviewed the story of his connection with Guangzhou. He said that the 15th National Games jointly hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao goes beyond the events themselves, can promote exchanges and exchanges of people and logistics between the Greater Bay Area, and promote the development of the tourism industry in the three regions. "I believe that after the successful hosting of the National Games, we can feel this more intuitively.". "Guangzhou holds a special position in my heart," said Hussein al Muslam, who has extensive experience in sports management. Prior to serving as the President of the FINA, he held various leadership positions, including the Director General of the Asian Olympic Council. His professional knowledge and dedication to sports development have earned him respect and recognition in the international sports community. During the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, Muslam played a role in promoting Guangzhou's green economy and low-carbon development. He praised Guangzhou's attention to sustainability and environmental protection, stating that this is part of the competition's goals. Muslam recalled to the New Express reporter that he first came to Guangzhou in 1989. During the process of applying for the Asian Games in Guangzhou, he served as a member of the inspection team and visited Guangzhou three times in 2002, 2003, and 2004 for three consecutive years. "After 2009, I came to Guangzhou several times and stayed there for a long time." Muslam said that many milestones in his career were achieved in Guangzhou. "Guangzhou has always held a special position in my mind." Visiting Guangzhou again, he said he deeply felt the city's renewed appearance, significant improvement in urban quality, and achievements in high-quality development. In Muslam's view, the hosting of the Guangzhou Asian Games is of great significance, as it has promoted the economic and social development of Guangzhou and brought about various changes to the city, especially in improving its infrastructure. The 15th National Games next year will be held in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, and Guangzhou will host the opening ceremony and a considerable number of competition events. When it comes to the significance of the event, Muslam expressed his views from two different perspectives. "From my perspective as the Director General of the Asian Olympic Council, the newly built or renovated sports venues and facilities during the Guangzhou Asian Games are a rich and long-term sports heritage that is still fully utilized. After hosting one event, the next event can continue to be used, which is one of the significance of hosting large-scale events." Another perspective is that as the President of the World Swimming Federation, Muslam said, "Guangzhou has advantages in water sports. Many world diving champions and synchronized swimming world champions come from Guangzhou." In his view, whether it is hardware facilities such as venues, transportation, or service facilities such as hotels, Guangzhou is very complete and has a profound sports culture. "
