CARICOM supports Saudi Expo 2030 bid

  • EXPO 2030 will expose member states to significant technological innovations, said CARICOM

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has given its backing to Saudi Arabia’s bid to host Expo 2030 in Riyadh.

In a statement issued on Monday on its official website, CARICOM said, “EXPO 2030 will expose member states to significant technological innovations while presenting opportunities to showcase challenges and prospects in the region.”

The Kingdom submitted its official bid to host the global showcase event under the theme “The era of change: Leading the planet to a foresighted tomorrow” last December.

On Tuesday, Indonesia reaffirmed its support to the Kingdom’s Expo bid during Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan’s official visit to the country where he met with Indonesia's president and foreign minister.
