History of World Expo.

Part I

During the long course of human history, the World Expo not only demonstrated the fruitful achievement of different times, but also reflected people’s deep understanding of industry, science and technology, culture and ethnicity. At the same time, the history of World Expo is also a history of people’s evolving and advancing evalu- ation of the civilization they have created.

To some extent, the Industrial Revolution gave birth to the modern World Expo, as the original intent of the World Expo is to display the achievements of different coun- tries’ Industrial Revolution. The 1851 London World Expo is universally recognized as the first modern World Expo, which was called the “Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations”. Ten countries were invited to participate in the 160-day event, which attracted over 6.3 million visitors. At the exposition, China exhibited its Yung Kee Silk, which was characterized by ethnic features and was awarded a gold prize. The Expo does not include any direct transaction, a practice that was inherited by the following Expos. The 1851 Expo was held in Hyde Park in London. The pavilion was constructed with steel and glass curtain, so it was call the “Crystal Palace”.

From the 20th century to the 21st century, people had experienced a transition form subjugating nature to respecting nature. Apart from the development of the city itself, the Expo began to pay attention to the whole earth and global issues such as ecology and environmental protection. The numerous wars of the past century intensified people’s longing for peace. So the World Expo was viewed by people from around the world as a bridge towards eradicating misunderstanding, improving relationships and resolving contradictions.

Based on the above ideas, when considering the scope of theme, the serious organizer of the Expo 2000 Hanover decide to choose the protection of resources as an important topic, which is in line with the trend of the time. The 2005 Aichi Expo Japan, the most recent registered Expo, was given the theme “Nature’s Wisdom”, which presented a global perspective and reflected people’s attitudes toward nature, society and future. The Expo Zaragoza 2008, the latest recognized Expo, was a great global event with the theme on the dynamic relation between water and human society. This Expo was a global supportive program with profound impact that was based on a recurring concept: water and sustainability.

The organizers of Expo in the 21st century wish to, through the use of rich means of exhibition, review the process of how people are using wisdom and technology to reconnect themselves with nature, from which they have been moving away. The Expo in the 21st century is still full of life, and will play an important role in promoting world peace and development. As the world progresses, the Expo 2010 Shanghai China, with the theme of “Better City, Better Life”, will add the glory and splendor to the long history of the World Expo.

EXPO 2017

EXPO 2017 - a truly remarkable event in the life of our country. The international exhibition, which is a symbol of industrialization, demonstration of technical and technological advances, the emergence of new ideas and interesting projects will facilitate the integration of Kazakhstan into the world economy. For a few years, our country held a series of many events such as the summit of the OSCE, the Islamic Conference, the Asian Games. Thus showing remarkable organizational and creative skills, high scientific potential. No wonder that now the international community has entrusted Kazakhstan to the World Exhibition 2017 in Astana. The theme of the exhibition: "Energy Future", which is really very important and significant, especially for our country. Modern Kazakhstan - one of the countries with the richest reserves of fuel and energy resources. However, oil, gas, coal are exhaustible natural resources. In addition, their use brings great harm to humanity and the environment. There is no doubt that the development of alternative energy sources - the overriding environmental, economic and even political task.

Now, many are asking: "What effect will conduct Kazakhstan EXPO?». Nursultan Nazarbayev noted the following: "This is the greatest opportunity for our country to get new energy and" green "technology. It's billions of dollars of investment, which will arrive in Kazakhstan for the preparation and holding of EXPO-2017, as well as further use of its facilities. " Indeed, it is difficult not to agree with the President. I would like to add that more than 100 countries will exhibit their achievements, people from different countries will be able to express their views on this issue, ie will really feasible projects that can save people from polluting and expensive sources of energy.

Come 2013. Within 4 years of Astana will take in his arms, millions of people from around the world. Already, it is worth considering all parts of the organization. The youth - support and future of the Republic. Thousands of young people will be able to show their potential. "I have no doubt that all the people of Kazakhstan will actively participate in the preparations for the International Exhibition," - said the President. Indeed, all the people should take part in this significant event. Pupils and students can share their ideas and thoughts on the matter, and in their spare time can get guides for foreign students by introducing them to the culture and lifestyle of the people of Kazakhstan. I am sure that everyone would agree to assist in the organization of the exhibition, because everything is done in order to achieve a common goal.

EXPO 2017 - a great event and a great responsibility, the people of Kazakhstan should show their famous hospitality and cordiality. The work will be considerable, but the joint effort will not be difficult to reach the desired result. "This is another" national construction "of Kazakhstan. Five years pass by quickly. The success of Astana in the struggle for the right to host EXPO 2017 - is the success of all the people of Kazakhstan ", - said Nazarbayev.
