The World Expo is a large-scale, global, non- commercial Expo. It aims to promote the exchange of ideas and development of the world's economy, culture, science and technology, to allow exhibitors to publicise and display their achievements and improve international relationships. Accordingly, the World Expo with its 150 year history is regarded as the Olympic Games of economy, science and technology.
The World Expo is a global event, huge in space and content. The Expo does not discriminate against exhibitors on any basis whether it be political, religious or racial,creating an opportunity for the host country to publicize itself and improve foreign relations.
The first World Expo was held in London on 1 May 1851. At that time, Britain was the greatest power in the world. To display the power and pride of the country, the British government built a 1,700 feet long and 100 feet high "Crystal Pa lace" in Hyde Park with 4,500 tons of steel and 300,000 blocks of glass (later de stroyed in the Second World War). Queen Victoria invited ten countries to exhibit products inside this "Palace". A total of 6.3 million people attended the Expo throughout the 160 days of its duration.
