Brief intro to World Expo
2010 Shanghai China
World Expositions are galleries
of human inspirations and thoughts. Since 1851 when the 
Great
Exhibition of Industries of All Nations was held in London, the World
Expositions have attained increasing prominence as grand events for
economic, scientific, technological and cultural exchanges, serving
as an important platform for displaying historical experience, exchanging
innovative ideas, demonstrating esprit de corps and looking to the
future.
With a long civilisation, China
favours international exchange and loves world peace. China owes its
successful bid for the World Exposition in 2010 to the international
community's support for and confidence in its reform and opening-up.
The Exposition will be the first registered World Exposition in a
developing country, which gives expression to the expectations the
world's people place on China's future development.
So what will Expo 2010 Shanghai
China deliver to the world? There is no doubt the Chinese people will
present to the world a successful, splendid and unforgettable exposition.
Expo 2010 Shanghai China will
be a great event to explore the full potential of urban life in the
21st century and a significant period in urban evolution. Fifty-five
percent of the world population is expected to live in cities by the
year 2010. The prospect of future urban life, a subject of global
interest, concerns all nations, developed or less developed, and their
people. Being the first World Exposition on the theme of city, Exposition
2010 will attract governments and people from across the world, focusing
on the theme "Better City, Better Life." For its 184 days,
participants will display urban civilisation to the full extent, exchange
their experiences of urban development, disseminate advanced notions
on cities and explore new approaches
to human habitat, lifestyle and working conditions in the new century.
They will learn how to create an eco-friendly society and maintain
the sustainable development of human beings.
Expo 2010 Shanghai China will
centre on innovation and interaction. Innovation is the soul, while
cultural interaction is an important mission of the World Expositions.
In the new era, Expo 2010 Shanghai China will contribute to human-centred
development, scientific and technological innovation, cultural diversity
and win-win cooperation for a better future, thus composing a melody
with the key notes of highlighting innovation and interaction in the
new century.
Expo 2010 Shanghai China will
also be a grand international gathering. On the one hand, we shall
endeavour to attract about 200 nations and international organisations
to take part in the exhibition as well as 70 million visitors from
home and abroad, ensuring the widest possible participation in the
history of the World Expositions. On the other hand, we will put Expo
2010 Shanghai China in a global perspective
and do our best to encourage the participation and gain the understanding
and support of various countries and peoples, in order to turn Expo
2010 Shanghai China into a happy reunion of people from all over the
world.
In addition, Expo 2010 Shanghai
China will offer a wonderful opportunity for cross-culture dialogues.
Before the conclusion of the Exposition, a "Shanghai Declaration"
will be issued. This declaration, hopefully a milestone in the history
of the World Expositions, will epitomise the insights to be offered
by the participants and embody people's ideas for future cooperation
and development and extensive common aspirations, thereby leaving
a rich spiritual legacy of urban development to people throughout
the world.
The Chinese Government will go
to great lengths to make Expo 2010 Shanghai China a special event
that carries on traditions and opens a new vista into the future.
Our motto is: "Keeping in mind the next 60 years' development
while preparing for the six months' Exposition." We count on
the continuing attention, support and participation of all the peace-loving
countries.
