Province's staging of Asian Para Games brings countrywide benefits for people with disabilities

The preparation and hosting of the 4th Asian Para Games in Hangzhou, capital city of Zhejiang province, has effectively elevated the equity and inclusion of people with disabilities in Hangzhou and wider Zhejiang, with its example-setting influence set to expand across the country, said the organizing committee and relevant organizations dedicated to the well-being of people with impairments.

"The Hangzhou Asian Para Games have played a huge role not only in promoting the development of sports for people with disabilities, but also the progress of social civilization when their rights of equal access to health, fitness and a social life, among others, are further guaranteed," said Lyu Lin, deputy secretary general of the Asian Para Games Hangzhou Organizing Committee.
