Belgian Exhibitors Anticipate Much from World Expo

2010. 19 January

by Zhang Jin
(english.cri.cn) Belgian exhibitors to this year's World Expo in Shanghai believe that the exposition will give a substantive boost to the development of the world, Belgium's commissioner for the Expo said Monday.

The influence of the World Expo in Shanghai would not only be in terms of technology but also of concepts, Leo Delcroix said in an interview with Xinhua.

Delcroix will head more than 100 exhibitors from Belgium which hosted the 1958 Brussels World Expo, the first after World War II.

Delcroix, who has enthusiastically promoted the participation of Belgian companies in the Expo, said China's market is 100 times the size of Spain's. He also noted the "formidable" changes that have taken place in China in all these years.

An atmosphere of prosperity and hope, key to a successful world exposition, will also be helpful to the development of the world economy, Delcroix said.

This year's world exposition in Shanghai is expected to draw between 70 million and 80 million visitors from around the world, while the 1958 expo in Brussels attracted some 40 million visitors.

Delcroix, a former defense minister of Belgium, said humanity would progress better if people have beliefs and enthusiasm in things.

The delegation chief briefed Xinhua about the highlights of the Belgian exhibitors.

In the Belgian pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo, there will be a "Diamond Corner" and a "Chocolate Corner" to showcase the country's prowess in these spheres.

Delcroix said that during the six-month exposition Belgians would also host 150 seminars and conferences in the host city.

He added that Belgian king Albert II or the crown prince, and several government ministers would visit the World Expo in Shanghai in a bid to draw potential investors to Belgium.
