He said the World Expo had proved during its more than 150-year history to play an important, unique role in promoting world economic and technological development.

The Expo could also help promote the development of civilizations and cultures, he said.

China's business hub, Shanghai, won a bid to host the 2010 World Expo in 2002. The Expo will be on stage from May 1 to October 31 next year.

So far more than 230 countries, regions and international organizations have confirmed that they would participate in the Expo, which will use the theme of "Better City, Better Life".
