Inter-ministerial Delegate for the French candidacy to organise the 'World Expo 2025', Pascal Lemy, held talks with Minister of Finance and Media Mangala Samaraweera this week. The meeting was to ensure Sri Lanka’s support for the French government's bid to organize the ‘World Expo 2025’.
Four countries have announced their candidacy to host the World Expo 2025: France (in Greater Paris), Japan (in Osaka), the Russian Federation (in Ekaterinburg), and Azerbaijan (in Baku).
The 170 Member States of the BIE is expected to elect the host country at the 164th General Assembly in November 2018.
World Expos, known officially as International Registered Exhibitions, are organised every five years. The themes of World Expos are designed to raise awareness of and find responses to universal challenges of our time. The next World Expo will take place in Dubai (UAE) between 20 October 2020 and 10 April 2021 under the theme “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future”.
