I am very pleased to be able to share with you many other individuals and organizations the most sincere congratulations to the organizers of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. The opportunity for communication in World Expo, Shanghai is crucial to building a global future.

{page_break} this unique event in World Expo, Shanghai, will show the world the remarkable achievements of Shanghai in the theme of "Better City, better life", and this theme worthy of the efforts of the whole world will be strongly publicized through World Expo.

We appreciate your outstanding achievements and look forward to working with Chinese friends to explore the mission of the Asian Association to "prepare for a common future".

The theme of Shanghai 2010 World Expo is particularly concerned about the quality of life in the urban environment, which is closely related to our new century.

In the developing countries of the world, large numbers of people migrate from the countryside to the cities and change their living conditions. This is a unique challenge and opportunity for the new stage of human development.

On the one hand, the rapid development of urbanization has increased the pressure of urban infrastructure, but on the other hand, the development of "green city" will probably solve more serious environmental problems.

For more than two centuries, Shanghai has been the leader of Chinese cities.

Here, European and Asian cultures are interconnected, and of course, they sometimes collide.

The Jews of Iraq once came to Shanghai to seek wealth through India.

In nineteenth Century, silk embroidery sari, made in Shanghai and Suzhou, was popular in Mumbai, India. Because of the international trade traders in southern China and Shanghai, Chinese silk and Interior Artworks also spread throughout Britain and France.

Today, with the support of the leaders of Shanghai, the Bund and some of the former settlements in Shanghai still retain their former architectural features to commemorate the early history of Shanghai's foreign exchange.

Today, thanks to the 2010 World Expo, Shanghai once again confirmed its status in the world.

Therefore, I am very pleased to greet the organizers of World Expo 2010 in Shanghai and Shanghai, and wish that the cross-cultural exhibition in the real world village of Shanghai will be successfully held.
