The visit of the Bie inspectors to Rome to evaluate the capital’s candidacy project for Expo 2030 was “very efficient and well organised”. This was stated by the head of delegation Murager Sauranbayev, on the occasion of a press point at Trajan’s Markets in Rome at the end of the delegates’ mission in the capital. “Italy is a candidate to host Expo in 2030 – Sauranbayev said -. According to the rules of the Bie, once the nomination period is over, the Bie sends a series of missions to the candidate countries. The program consists of a series of meetings with representatives local and national, in working groups, meetings with interest groups. The mission began on Tuesday and ended today. Everyone, at all levels – he added – expressed their full support for hosting Expo in Rome and said that the project is part of a long-term plan.
The mission also met with parliamentary groups, productive activities, civil society and trade unions. There have been a series of work meetings to evaluate all aspects of the Expo. The mission will now write a report on the feasibility of the project which will be presented to the executive committee of the BIE. The committee will review the projects and send them to the general assembly of the BIE to be held on June 20 in Paris. The projects considered feasible will go to the final phase which will be concluded within the second half of the year. On behalf of the mission – he concluded – I want to express gratitude to our guests for a very efficient and well-organized visit”.

“Italy can do it, we saw recently that it organized the highly successful Milan Expo. There may be some difficulties but that doesn’t mean it can’t be organised.” This was stated by the general secretary of the Bie Dimitri Kerkentzes during the final press conference on the inspection visit, answering a question from a French journalist regarding Italy’s timing with respect to the grounding of Pnrr funds and the criticisms from Europe on the issues gender and LGBT rights. Regarding this last aspect, Kerkentzes replied: “We had the pleasure in this visit of meeting the main Italian authorities so I will tell you what we have seen and heard. We find it very interesting that this is not an event that will last only six months , but as far as inclusion is concerned, there will also be an impact in the following years”. Furthermore, “we have considered respect for human rights” also on the labor front. “There have been events that have had bad publicity in the past – he concluded – but for Expo 2030 all governments must indicate this aspect in their organisation”.
