After last October's announcement by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense, who is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC), the Commission has submitted the Kingdom's file to organize the World Expo 2030 in Riyadh. The Kingdom's file submission came upon its participation in the virtual meeting of the Bureau of International Exhibitions (BIE) General Assembly, which was held yesterday in the French capital, Paris, to start the competing candidatures process, which will take place in five stages to be ended with a vote at the end of 2023. To mark the occasion, the RCRC CEO Fahd bin Abdul Mohsen Al-Rasheed said that five countries are submitting their competing file to organize World Expo 2030: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; South Korea; Italy; Ukraine and Russia. This global event continues for six months and enables the host and participating countries to review the latest developments in science and technology, their most prominent cultures and heritage, and the progress made in the environmental, social and economic sectors.
