World Expo 2030: South Korea wants to realize “dual Olympics” in Busan

By hosting the 2030 World Expo, Busan, Korea's largest port city, is expected to be the venue for a "dual Olympics" - the Economic Olympics and the Cultural Olympics of Korea.

Busan City is now ready in the race to host the 2030 World Expo.

Busan is ready

Having been the host city of many large-scale international events such as the 2002 World Cup, 2002 Asian Games, 2005 APEC Summit, 2014 and 2019 ASEAN-Korea Special Summits... Busan city is now ready in the race to host the 2030 World Expo.

With the main theme of “Changing our world , towards a better future”, through hosting the World Expo, Busan will become a city that inspires the whole world to put aside the past of war and build a better future.

At the same time, the World Expo is also an opportunity for Busan to realize its hope of bringing an economic Olympics as well as a cultural Olympics to the world.

Taking advantage of the “soft power of K-Content”, BTS and actor Lee Jung Jae were appointed as promotional ambassadors for the 2030 World Expo in Busan.

In addition, more than 100 other famous Korean faces also joined the campaign to support Busan, hoping that this city can win the race to host the 2030 World Expo.

Besides culture, Busan also convinced to become the host of the World Expo with its strength in Innovation, demonstrated through the city's leading position in pursuing the Industrial Revolution 4.0.

In addition, Busan has established a Blockchain Special Zone, built a Green Smart City, and prepared modern transportation infrastructure from air, road, rail, highway to sea with the world's second largest transit port.

In particular, Busan impresses with 6 differences, which are the “open exhibition” – a platform that allows people around the world to participate in the exhibition anytime and anywhere, the “carbon-neutral exhibition” with green energy applications and environmentally friendly technology, the “new technology exhibition” that ensures convenience for visitors using artificial intelligence (AI) and next-generation telecommunications (6G), the “comprehensive exhibition” that develops together through supporting developing countries, the “cultural exhibition” that attracts the world's attention to Korean culture, and the “data exhibition” that displays the history of the World Expo.

Many opportunities for partner countries when Korea hosts World Expo 2030

For many countries that have cooperative relations with Korea, the opportunity from this country hosting the World Expo 2030 is also very interesting. Because through the event, Korea will play the role of a bridge between developed and developing countries.

As for Vietnam, as a comprehensive strategic partner of Korea, when this country hosts the exhibition, Vietnam will also receive many advantages.

For South Korea, hosting the 2030 World Expo in Busan is considered a national mission. The central and local governments, public and private sectors are all working hard to achieve that goal.

In Vietnam, Samsung, as the largest Korean and foreign investor, is also actively promoting Korea's bid to host the World Expo 2030 through a series of CSR programs such as the Solve for Tomorrow competition and a series of road shows across the North - Central - South, the Samsung Innovation Campus program to develop high-tech capacity for the young generation of Vietnam...

South Korea is among Vietnam’s leading trade partners in the world. South Korea is the number one foreign direct investor in Vietnam with a total capital of 80.5 billion USD; and the second in development cooperation, tourism and labor. Bilateral trade cooperation also reached 88 billion USD in 2022 and is aiming for 100 billion USD in the near future.

Vietnam and Korea share cultural values, history and many Asian characteristics such as diligence and hard work.

It can be seen that Vietnam is an attractive destination for many Korean investors and tourists, so Vietnam's participation in the exhibition in Korea will certainly bring opportunities to attract investment, tourism, etc. In many meetings between the leaders of the two countries, Korean leaders also hope that Vietnam will support Korea in hosting this exhibition.
