On the morning of June 13, the official ceremony of the National Pavilion Day of the Kingdom of Belgium was held in the Expo Center. Belgian Crown Prince Philip and Shanghai Vice Mayor Tang attended the ceremony and delivered speeches. Zhang Zhijian, Deputy Representative of China Government, attended the ceremony.
Philip expressed the hope that the Shanghai World Expo would serve as a platform to deepen the friendship and cooperation between the two countries. "China is an important partner of our future development, and China firmly regards sustainable development and a better life as its basic principles, which is also the long-term goal of our country. Therefore, we look forward to working closely with China to create a better life for our people. "
Tang said in his speech that Belgium has hosted many World Expos, including the 1958 Brussels World Expo, which left a deep impression on the world. Atomium, its landmark building, has not only become an important symbol of Belgium, but also an important milestone in the history of the World Expo. The structural design of "brain cells" presented to us today is novel, which once again shows Belgium's advanced concept of actively advocating scientific and technological innovation.
Mr. Jean-Francois Maljean, a Belgian musician named as one of the "Top Ten Musicians in the New Century" by Grammy, and Laure Shang, a female singer from China, sang the theme song of the Belgium Pavilion of the 20 10 Shanghai World Expo. Belgian pop singers also sang the Beijing Olympic song "You and Me" with children from China, which won warm applause from Chinese and foreign guests and audiences.
The Belgium-EU Pavilion is located in Zone C of the Expo site. The main body of the exhibition hall adopts the "brain cell" structure, which can show Belgium's unique role as the "European capital" and the intersection and intersection of the three traditional cultures of Latin, Germanic and Anglo-Saxon Europe.
