Czech pavilion at Expo 2010 will be larger than at the previous exhibition

Prague - The pavilion that the Czech Republic will have at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai will be twice as large as it was at the previous expo in Japan. At the Aichi Prefecture at Expo 2005, it was around one thousand square meters. In response to a query from ČTK, the office of the general commissioner stated this today, which is planning the Czech presentation in China. The office, which resumed operations on January 14, also signed a contract with Chinese organizers for Czech participation in the event.
On Tuesday, the office will present the current progress of preparations. The government decided on the Czech Republic's involvement in the World Expo in the most populous country in the world last January. The motto of Expo 2010 will be "better city, better life".
The general secretary of Czech participation is Pavel Stehlík, who has previously worked in top management. The sixty-year-old Stehlík worked, among other things, for ten years as a partner and leading manager at an international auditing firm. He has experience in several European countries and several multinational companies. He speaks English and Russian.
The general director for Expo 2005, which took place in Japan, was Vladimír Darjanin. The Czech interactive Garden of Music and Fantasy was visited by nearly 1.7 million visitors. The Czech pavilion was a relaxation space with optical and sound objects that visitors could touch and try out themselves. The government allocated 300 million crowns for the country's presentation in Japan.
