Global Recognition: Riyadh Wins Bid to Host Expo 2030 World Fair

Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, as the host city for the Expo 2030 world fair, following the voting results on Tuesday. This diplomatic triumph marks another success for a Gulf country, coming on the heels of Qatar hosting the soccer World Cup last year.

Competing against South Korea’s Busan and Rome in Italy, Riyadh secured a significant victory with 119 votes, surpassing the two-thirds majority required for a win in the first round. The Expo, held every five years, is a global event attracting millions of visitors and substantial investments.

The Expo 2030 in Riyadh is set to become a showcase for innovation, culture, and economic development on an international scale. As Saudi Arabia prepares to host this prestigious event, it underscores the country’s commitment to fostering global cooperation and showcasing its advancements to the world.
