Hein Verbruggen has toured all the facilities being prepared for the Games and revealed his findings to a meeting of National Olympic Committees.
He said: “The Beijing Games Organising Committee shows steady and strong involvement and achieves good progress in all fields of Games preparation.
“We therefore look to the path to 2008 with great confidence.”
All venues are expected to be complete by the end of 2007.
