Expo 2030 Riyadh registration dossier receives BIE final approval in Paris
Ibrahim Al-Sultan, minister of state, member of the Council of Ministers and acting CEO of the Royal Commission for Riyadh City, led the Saudi Arabian delegation at the BIE General Assembly, which included Fahd bin Mayouf Al-Ruwaili, ambassador of Saudi Arabia in France, and other officials. The registration dossier serves as a comprehensive blueprint, highlighting Saudi Arabia's vision of hosting an exceptional expo that reflects its ambitions toward innovation and global collaboration.
Al-Sultan said: 'The approval of the registration dossier in record time highlights the Kingdom's leadership on the global stage and underscores the world's confidence in Saudi Arabia's vision and capabilities. It also reflects the high level of professionalism demonstrated by the teams involved in preparing and reviewing the registration dossier. This milestone marks a significant step forward in the Kingdom's journey to deliver an exceptional and unprecedented edition of the World Expo, in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 objectives.'
Riyadh is the first expo host to complete and submit its registration dossier in such a short time frame — almost half the time usually required for this kind of dossier.
The approval of the registration dossier unlocks the next phase of formal preparations for Expo 2030 Riyadh, which includes extending official invitations to international participants through diplomatic channels.
Set to take place from Oct. 1, 2030 to March 31, 2031, Expo 2030 Riyadh will be one of the largest expos ever, held on a 6-million-square-meter site. The venue is designed to welcome more than 40 million visits, through world-class infrastructure, hospitality venues, and cutting-edge facilities. The site will ensure an unforgettable experience for all participants and visitors, with a target of more than 195 participating nations.
