olympic committee: Since his first trip to the country in 1993, the prince has paid 10 visits to China in different capacities, ranging from a member of the International Olympic Committee, as well as crown prince and head of state, according to Xinhua China. His last China visit took place in September, when Xi rolled out the red carpet for his arrival at the Great Hall of the People. Though the two countries are far apart geographically, and differ in their national conditions, relations between the two countries have been gaining momentum thanks to the close connections of Prince Albert II the reigning monarch of the Principality of Monaco with China. The prince extended an invitation to Xi during the September visit, and the Monaco monarch said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency ahead of Xi's arrival that Xi's visit is highly important to Monaco. Since 2011, the Prince Albert of Monaco Foundation has been supporting the World Wildlife Fund in driving Tx2 the global goal to double the number of tigers in the wild. During last year's visit, the principality's reigning monarch also visited a bee farm and a Siberian tiger breeding center in Jilin province.
