Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Zhao Lijian, said during a news conference in late January that China warmly welcomes the King of Cambodia to witness the historic event of Beijing becoming the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

He said, "Cambodia is a good neighbor to China, and has traditionally strongly supported in hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics. His Majesty the King is an old friend of the Chinese people. We warmly welcome the King and Queen to China to witness the historic occasion that Beijing will be the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics."
