The organizers of the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai will pay particular attention to security requirements, the general commissioner of the Russian section said on Tuesday.

"The organizers have quite strict security requirements and the majority of the commissioners general consider them to be correct," Strashko added.

"We have introduced a special position of a security chief, who will put into place the required measures and of course coordinate them with the overall EXPO 2010 security service," Strashko said.

Expo 2010, whose "Better City, Better Life" theme reflects efforts to improve life in future urban environments, will run from May 1 through October 31. The event is expected to attract 70 million people.
