A Beijing Olympics official said Monday that the organizers are confident and capable of holding worry-free Olympic Games.
Sun Weide, a media official with the Beijing Organizing Committee of the 29th Olympic Games (BOCOG), said at a press conference that the Chinese government and the BOCOG have paid great attention to the security of the Beijing Games.
"An effective command system has been established and we have strengthened the cooperation in information exchange and anti-terrorism with other countries, especially those which hosted the Games before," he said.
"We have strengthened security work in all Olympic venues and in the Olympic village. We are well-prepared in security for the upcoming Games," Sun added.
