Ladies and gentlemen, friends,

Welcome to the China Pavilion!

Expo 2020 Dubai is the first World Expo held in the Middle East. Under the theme of "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future", countries have an opportunity to share their philosophies and success of economic and social development and enhance dialogue and cooperation. This shows the significant importance of the Expo.

The time we live in is full of challenges and full of hope. Where should the future of humanity be headed? China's answer is to call on the people of all countries to work together, respond to the call of the times, strengthen global governance, pursue innovation-driven development, and advance the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The theme of the China Pavilion is "Build a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind — Innovation & Opportunity". The pavilion showcases China's achievements in areas such as space exploration, information technology, modern transportation, artificial intelligence and smart living. China is ready to enhance exchange and cooperation with other countries to seize the opportunities for innovation-driven development and actively promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

I wish Expo 2020 Dubai a full success!
