The central and local governments and the private sector have teamed up to win the bid to host the World Expo 2030 in Korea's southern port city of Busan.
Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and Busan Mayor Park Hyeong-joon will fly to Paris on Saturday to promote Busan as the ideal city to host the event. Korea is competing with Italy and Saudi Arabia in the bid.
SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won, who now serves as the chairman of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry and co-chairman of the bidding committee, will accompany the pair to assist them as one team.
The key members of the Korean representatives carry high expectations from the country as it is eager to host the event.
