国际参展方事务会议致辞(2)

　　Ladies and Gentlemen,

　　A successful, splendid and unforgettable Expo will not be possible without the joint efforts by the host, participants and visitors. According to the usual practice of the World Expo, the first participants meeting is normally held two years prior to the Expo. We are holding this meeting one year ahead of the normal schedules for two purposes. The first is to provide you with a better understanding of the situation; and the second is to know through questions and answers your concerns related to the participation matters so that we can further improve our future work. It is my belief that the meeting today will lay a solid foundation for our future communication and liaison. We are looking forward to your valuable comments and suggestions, which will be a generous help to our endeavors to host a successful, splendid and unforgettable Expo。

　　Now, the preparatory work for Expo 2010 is well under way in all aspects. We shall, as always, keep close contact with you and take into consideration your advice and suggestions to ensure the success of Expo 2010. We believe that, with concerted efforts by all participating governments, international organizations and corporations, and with strong support from people all over the world, Expo 2010 Shanghai China will surely be successful, splendid and unforgettable!

　　Dear friends, Expo 2010 Shanghai China is ready to embrace the world with open arms. Once again, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely invite all peace-loving countries and international organizations to join us at Expo 2010, and to witness together this grand event in global economy, science and technology, and culture. Let’s join our hands and strive together for a more prosperous world, a more harmonious human society, and a more enjoyable urban life!

　　To conclude, may I wish Expo 2010 Shanghai China a great success!

　　And my best wishes to all of you, the honorable guest!
