International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge has applauded Hong Kong's work in holding the 2009 East Asian Games, particularly its "brilliant" opening ceremony.

 

Concluding his three-day Hong Kong visit today, Mr Rogge was seen off at the airport by Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing and EAG Planning Committee Chairman Timothy Fok.

 

Mr Rogge was a guest of honour at Saturday's opening ceremony on Victoria Harbour.

 

"I have seen many opening ceremonies in my long Olympic life. This deserves a gold medal," Mr Rogge said of the event.
