Mohammed Mubarak al-Kuwari, Chief Marketing Officer at Aspire Zone Foundation, has expressed his joy and happiness at the news that Doha will host the 2030 Asian Games, which was announced by the Olympic Council of Asia on Wednesday.
He said that in celebration and expression of joy for such achievement the logo of Asian Games will be displayed at Aspire Torch Tower and other display screens across the Aspire Park. However, due to the current pandemic situation and the precautionary and preventive measures in place for the protection and safety of all, Aspire will not hold any popular celebration to avoid any gatherings and crowds of people that could pose any potential risks for their health and safety.
He pointed out that Doha has many highly successful experiences with hosting and organising key and major sports events on both, international and regional levels with great outcomes that have been witnessed and experienced by the sports fans from around the world. For instance Qatar hosted the 15th edition of the Asian Games in 2006 and garnered international recognition and admiration for hosting an amazing edition. This, he stressed, affirms the upcoming success of Doha for producing an excellent and high standard edition of the 2030 Asian Games.
In the meantime, he said that Aspire Park is open for all sports lovers as usual but they should maintain all the necessary preventive and precautionary measures against Covid-19 as stipulated by the concerned authorities of the country.
“We at Aspire are very happy for such achievement and we are sure that all the people in the country are very happy and want to celebrate and express their joy. It even co-incides with Qatar National Day and the whole country is in actual festivities. However, the health and safety of all is the top priority, and people are advised to abide by the related regulations, maintain the required social and physical distancing and avoid any undesired crowds and gathering,” he stressed.
Similarly, the Chinese ambassador, Zhou Jian said on the occasion, “I am more than happy to know that Qatar has won the bid to host Asian Games in 2030. This adds new glory to the National Day of Qatar. On behalf of the Chinese Government and 1.4 billion Chinese people, I wish to extend my sincere congratulations to Qatari Government and the brotherly Qatari people.
“Living in Doha for one and half a year, I could see and feel that Qatar is a sport-loving country, with advanced facilities, world-class hospitality, and rich experiences in holding major events. Despite the unprecedented pandemic of this year, Qatar still saw great achievement towards 2022 World Cup. With the sweet memory that Qatar impressed the world with 2006 Asian Games, I firmly believe that Qatar will undoubtedly present the world with another unique and marvelous Asian Games. Wish Doha 2030 a great success!” he added
