Pascal LAMY, France’s interdepartmental representative for the 2025 World Expo and former World Trade Organization director-general, visited Cambodia on December 20 to promote France’s bid to organise the 2025 World Expo. According to Lamy, the 2025 World Expo will be an opportunity for France and all its inhabitants to reaffirm its openness to the world and commitment to universal values. 170 delegates representing the member countries of the International Exhibitions Bureau, including Cambodia, will elect the host country of the 2025 World Expo in November 2018. France’s theme for the World Expo is “Sharing our knowledge, Caring for our planet”, and focuses on the future and on youth. Photos by Hong Menea
