closing ceremonies, also the soccer matches and the athletics
competitions.
He also visited the Aquatic National Center, building that will
host the swimming and synchronized swimming tournaments.

Mexico with Shanghai, the main business center of China.
Rojas said that not

are worth to admire for its modern buildings.
"Olympic Games will be a great
window to show all the world they are a world power. Personally I was amazed for
the development that its cities have achieved," Rojas said.
"Many Mexicans
should go to China to learn how they have developed their cities, how they have
harmonized the cities and to see their work culture and discipline," Rojas
said.
He reckoned it important how China has inserted itself in the
world.

world, because they are making contributions to the civilization and the
humanity, in an intelligent way," Rojas said.
