British pavilion to be completed at end of March 2010

The United Kingdom pavilion for the 2010 Shanghai World Expo from May 1 to October 31 will be completed at the end of March 2010.

British Foreign Secretary David Miliband pushed in the final acrylic pole for the facade of the Seed Cathedral, the centerpiece of the pavilion at the Wrold Expo site. The move signaled the end of the construction of the exterior structure of the pavilion.

The UK would take the advantage of the World Expo Shanghai to display its most positive aspects, involving sustainable development, innovation and concepts of opening and tolerance, and the World Expo would be a good platform for Britain and China to discuss economic issues and to promote cooperation and understanding in trade, education, science and culture.
