Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, received in Riyadh on Monday Chairperson of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) Patrick Specht and an accompanying delegation.

Discussions focused on Saudi Arabia’s bid to host Expo 2030.

BIE Enquiry Mission had arrived in the Saudi capital on Sunday on a five-day visit to tackle and assess the Saudi bid.

It is scheduled to meet with several ministers and experts to discuss the various technical aspects of the bid that was submitted in September 2022.

On Monday, it met with Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan to assess the file.

Members of the delegation also visited the Saudi National Museum and experienced the richness, depth and diversity of Saudi Arabia’s cultural heritage.

The final candidates to host Expo 2030 will be officially announced in May ahead of a final vote on a host in November.

Saudi Arabia made its bid under the slogan “Together for a Foresighted Tomorrow”, inviting the world to share how to imagine a different future and what actions taken today will shape a prosperous and sustainable tomorrow.
