Saudi Arabia submits Expo 2030 registration dossier to BIE

Saudi Arabia officially submitted the registration dossier for World Expo 2030 Riyadh to the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), marking a significant milestone in the Kingdom’s preparations to host the global event, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

The dossier, a crucial requirement for organizing the World Expo, was presented to BIE Secretary General Dimitri Kerkentzes by Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to France, Fahad Al-Ruwaily.

The approval of this document by the BIE general assembly will formalize Saudi Arabia’s status as the official organizer of Expo 2030 Riyadh.

Prepared in close collaboration with the BIE Secretariat, the Registration Dossier outlines a detailed blueprint for the Expo, covering aspects such as operational timelines, financial and legislative measures, the Expo site Master Plan, international participation conditions, and long-term legacy initiatives.

Following Saudi Arabia’s selection as the host country for World Expo 2030 during the 173rd BIE general assembly on Nov. 28, 2023, the Kingdom has now entered the formalization phase of its Expo project.

The dossier will be reviewed by BIE member states, paving the way for the official registration of Expo 2030 Riyadh, after which Saudi Arabia can initiate full-scale preparations and extend diplomatic invitations to international participants.

Commenting on the submission, BIE Secretary General Dimitri Kerkentzes said: “The Registration Dossier is a comprehensive blueprint for Expo 2030 Riyadh, providing detailed information to guide the organizers, participants, and the BIE in the next phases of the project. Its development, in close cooperation with the BIE, reflects the dedication of Saudi authorities at all levels to the meticulous preparation of the Expo.”
