At the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai Russia will showcase its latest ideas and technologies for "a better city," Russia's industry and trade minister said on Friday.

The 2010 World Expo is to be held under the motto of a "Better City - Better Life" from May 1 to October 31, 2010, in Shanghai in an area of six square kilometers (2.3 sq. miles). Up to 70 mln people are expected to visit the city for the event, which has seen investment of up to $4 billion.

"We will showcase the cutting-edge technologies and ideas in various fields - the ideas and technologies that would turn fairytales and children's dreams into a better city of tomorrow," said Viktor Khristenko, who heads the organizing committee for Russia's participation.

Russia is constructing its Expo pavilion for the first time in 30 years, rather than renting one from the host country.

The 6,000-square-meter sun-shaped pavilion, dominated by fairy-tale motifs, will comprise 12 white-and-gold towers symbolizing the 12 months, showing a comfortable city environment as seen through children's eyes.
