“It is clear that the whole world, as a collective, needs to work together to foresee the future and address, with its brightest minds, the challenges and opportunities that emanate from this change,” he added.
The theme proposed by Saudi Arabia is “The era of change: Leading the planet to a foresighted tomorrow.”
The Crown Prince noted that Expo 2030 would also coincide with the culmination of Vision 2030, which is a strategic framework to reduce Riyadh’s dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and develop public service sectors.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, VP and PM of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, quickly threw his support behind Saudi Arabia’s bid.
