On February 7, 2025, the 9th Asian Winter Games will open in Harbin.
In this year's New Year's speech, Asia-Austria Council President Singh focused on this Asian Winter Conference. He said that the scale of participation in this event will be the highest in history, especially many countries and regions that do not have traditional winter sports actively send delegations to participate, which reflects the development of Asian winter sports and also reflects the unity and diversity of Asia.
Singh further stated that he is confident about the success of this event. China has rich experience in hosting large-scale comprehensive international competitions. It has previously successfully held two Asian Winter Games and the 2022 Winter Olympics. Chinese society's interest in winter sports continues to grow. Based on this, the Harbin Asian Winter Games will surely contribute to the development of winter sports in Asia.
