2010 Shanghai World Expo

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is managing Australia's presence at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo on behalf of the Australian Government.  As part of the project, a targeted cultural program is planned to enhance Australia's presence at the expo by entertaining and engaging visitors to the Australian pavilion. The AICC country promotion planned for China in 2010 will seek to leverage the expo's cultural program and may seek to extend the visit of certain performers to other areas in China.
