On 28 November 2023, during the 173rd General Assembly of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), Member States elected Saudi Arabia as host country of World Expo 2030.
In the first round of voting, Member States voted for Saudi Arabia’s project to organise World Expo 2030 in the city of Riyadh under the theme The Era of Change: Together for a Foresighted Tomorrow between 1 October 2030 and 31 March 2031.
Following the election, Saudi Arabia continues to work closely with the BIE to formalise the Expo project by submitting a Registration Dossier that will need to be approved by the BIE General Assembly.
