“Our World Expo has a mission to inspire hope, and in the coming weeks we will begin to share new details and ideas about space, health and wellness, travel and connectivity and other subjects that sit at the heart of this Expo. We hope that people will join us to achieve our objectives to bring the world together and put humanity and the planet on the right path towards dignity for all.
Her Excellency thanked the entire Expo community for its commitment to delivering an exceptional Expo, adding: “The journey has been worth it, and in 365 days we will share our excitement and our passion with millions.”
