BOCOG had also recruited 400,000 "city volunteers" to offer such services as information inquiry, translation and first-aid assistance at 550 temporary volunteer stations around the capital, he said.

In addition to the Olympic volunteers directly serving the Games and the "city volunteers," BOCOG organized 1 million "social volunteers" to offer various service, such as maintaining traffic order and public order at communities and townships, he said.

"We are confident the volunteers, through their professional service and sincere smiles, will leave a most beautiful memory to the international athletes and guests," he added.
