Letter on the Event from the Mayor of Chengdu

Dear police officers, firefighters, and family members,

On behalf of Chengdu Municipal People's Government and 16 million Chengdu citizens, I would like to extend my highest respect and most sincere invitation to police officers and firefighters of different countries and regions. Welcome to the 18th World Police and Fire Games in Chengdu, China in the summer of 2019.

Enjoying the reputation of the “Land of Abundance", Chengdu has a civilization of 4,500 years. It has kept its name and location unchanged over the past 2,300 years. With genetically rooted passion for sports since ancient times, Chengdu has been the host city of numerous sport competitions, and has developed rich experience and expertise in organizing large-scale international sporting events. With the help and instruction of the WPFG Federation, the whole municipality has been working tirelessly to greet the upcoming 18th WPFG with first-class sports venues, quality services, and pleasant city environment.

Heralding into a new era, Chengdu is a city where trendy lifestyle echoes traditional culture, where profound history resonate with dynamic modern civilization. It is a city harbored by precious world heritages like the Dujiangyan Irrigation System and Mount Qingcheng, nourished by treasurable historical and cultural relics such as Wuhou Shrine and Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and a city where splendid intangible cultural heritage including Shu Brocade and Shu Embroidery are handed down from generation to generation. Credited by many international institutions as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. Chengdu is home to giant pandas, the national treasure, and a city where towering snow mountains stretching along the skyline come into view as you raise your eyes. As a National Central City in the new era, it's a city full of vigor and vitality for development and a city that's been crowned the Happiest City in China for 10 consecutive years. It is a city that you never want to leave once you set your foot in.

Chengdu is genuinely looking forward to having you as its guests. You are warmly invited to join us in 2019, to meet with pandas, visit scenic spots and historical sites, taste delicacies from around the world, explore the charm of the city and the very essence of happiness in Chengdu, and then take back with you the most unforgettable experience and beautiful memory.

Wish the 18th WPFG a great success! And welcome to Chengdu!

Sincerely,


Mayor of Chengdu Municipal People's Government
Director of 2019 Chengdu WPFG Organizing Committee
