On the 6th at 3:30 PM, Busan City will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power at the City Hall International Protocol Room for the 'Attraction of the 2030 Busan World Expo and the Realization of a Sustainable Society in Harmony with Nature.'

This MOU was prepared to pledge mutual cooperation between the two organizations in domestic and international promotional activities for attracting the 2030 Busan World Expo and in realizing a sustainable society in harmony with nature, one of the values pursued by the 2030 Busan World Expo.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun and Hwang Ju-ho, President of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, will attend the signing ceremony in person and sign the agreement.

Once the agreement is signed, the two organizations will mutually cooperate in domestic and international promotional activities for attracting the 2030 World Expo to Busan by utilizing various networks and channels of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power.

They will also share mutual understanding of the 'Human Coexistence Project,' which the 2030 Busan World Expo proposes as a solution to global challenges such as water, food, and climate crises, under the theme of 'Together, with New Technologies, Realizing a Sustainable Society in Harmony with Nature,' and will cooperate in future projects and activities aimed at realizing a sustainable society in harmony with nature.

Currently, Busan City and the government are making thorough preparations to welcome the on-site inspection team from the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), scheduled from April 2 to 7 this year, and to convey the passionate desire of the Korean people for hosting the Expo to the world.

Moreover, with the 4th competitive presentation in June and the final host city selection in November approaching, domestic and international promotion to gain support from BIE member countries is more important than ever.

Through this MOU, the city expects to greatly benefit from utilizing Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power’s domestic and overseas networks to promote the 2030 Busan World Expo, contributing significantly to the 'all-out effort' to attract the Expo to Busan, Republic of Korea.

President Hwang Ju-ho stated, “We will actively promote the necessity of attracting the 2030 Busan World Expo and build a broad civic consensus by leveraging Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power’s extensive networks. It is very meaningful to contribute as citizens of the Republic of Korea to hosting one of the world’s three major mega-events, the World Expo.”

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “The 2030 World Expo, which the Republic of Korea is fiercely competing to host, is a registered Expo, different in scale from recognized Expos like the Daejeon and Yeosu Expos, and is called the economic and cultural Olympics. If hosted in Busan in 2030, it will become a growth engine that transforms the economic structure not only of Busan but of the entire country.”

The mayor added, “We will devote all administrative power from the on-site inspection to the 4th competitive presentation in June and the final host city selection in November to ensure the 2030 World Expo is hosted in Busan, running at full speed until the very end. We ask for continuous support so that the entire nation, united as one, can see Busan, Republic of Korea, selected as the host city of the 2030 World Expo.”
