KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 (Bernama) -- The 31st FISU World University Games kicked off in the middle of summer, with 6,500 young athletes from 113 countries and regions gathered in Chengdu, showcasing the brilliance and elegance of contemporary college students to the world.
At the beginning of the night, the cultural market in Chengdu Universiade Village is colourful with Pitch Pot and Cuju, among others, whereby the college athletes worldwide interact with each other with great interest, exchanging badges and sharing happiness.
According to the Executive Committee of the 31st FISU World University Games in a statement, since the opening of the Universiade in Chengdu, the village has been filled with university athletes of different colours, nationalities and languages.
FISU acting president, Leonz Eder thanked China for its simple, safe and wonderful concept of hosting the games, earnestly fulfilling its solemn commitments and ensuring the smooth hosting of the Universiade in Chengdu.
As a result of joint efforts of China, the International University Sports Federation and delegations from various countries and regions, the Chengdu Universiade has become an international sports event with Chinese characteristics, the spirit of the times and style of youth.
During the games, cultural exchanges off the field take place every day. In the Tianfu Art Park, the "2023 Chengdu Biennial Exhibition" exhibits 476 works by 235 artists from 22 countries and regions, attracting a large number of Chinese and foreign audiences.
As civilisations are enriched by exchanges while cultures are enriched by mutual learning, the college students meet in Chengdu to view harmony and diversity from the perspective of equality, inclusiveness and fraternity.
The students also appreciate and learn from different cultures, as well as promote world peace and development with their youthful vitality.
