GOOD LUCK BEIJING 2007 Beijing Judo Open is going to be held from November 15th to 16th in Beijing. At this moment, on behalf of the Chinese Judo Association, I would like to extend my sincere and warm welcome to all members from IJF Executive Committee, all athletes, coaches as well as our distinguished guests and friends from all over the world.

As Judo is becoming more and more popular among Chinese people, under the care of IJF, Judo in China has achieved further development and incessantly improved its technical level. The popularization and promotion of the sport in China are owed to the support of IJF. I would like to extend my gratitude to IJF for their patronage.

At the same time, I would also like to thank the Beijing Municipal CPC Committee, the Beijing Municipal Government, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of XXIX Olympiad and the University of Science and Technology Beijing. Our heartfelt thanks also extend to press circles, enterprise groups, people from all walks of life who have shown great concern and support for this event, and to all the hard-working staff and volunteers.

I believe that the efforts of everyone will make GOODLUCK BEIJING 2007 Beijing Judo Open a great success.
