This means that each country will use the expo as an opportunity to work together to find solutions to common human problems such as climate change and energy.

Chairman Choi emphasized that he would change the concept of Expo through Busan Expo. Chairman Choi said, “We want to change the nature of the expo and make it a ‘solution platform.’ No country will try to solve other countries’ problems, but through the expo, we will present optimal solutions tailored to each country.”
