Asian Games open new chapter in Hangzhou

Raja Randhir Singh, the acting president of the Olympic Council of Asia, was invited to an OCA press briefing on Friday to grant OCA's attitude towards the19th Asian Games in Hangzhou.

Singh elaborated his understanding of the official slogan "Heart to Heart, @Future", describing it as a perfect slogan that means everything by itself.

"It carries the message for the youth and for the world that we look for peace and harmony through sports. So in that manner, you can't get a better slogan than having it as heart to heart," Singh said.

Known as the world's largest sporting gala in scale, the Asian Games will open a new chapter in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, on Saturday. About 12,417 athletes are ready to compete in 481 medal events.
