We know that Brazil has confirmed participation in the world Expo. So, what preparations are you making for the Expo Shanghai 2010?

Hugueney:

Yes, of course we will take part in the Expo 2010. I know it is going to be a big success. We have a strong link with Shanghai: Sao Paolo is Shanghai’s sister city. A big part of our business community in China lives in Shanghai. So, we are very proud to be part of this exhibition. Soon we will start building our site in the exhibition. We are also organizing a lot of cultural events for the Expo. I think the exhibition will be a great opportunity for the Chinese people to know better not only about the Brazilian economy and development, but also about our cultural life. We hope that in the Expo Brazil can show the best parts of itself.

Actually, many of our netizens are very curious about which activities and events are going to be presented by Brazil during the Expo. Could you give us a little detail about that?

Hugueney:

Well, unfortunately no. We are still organizing the program. However, let me assure to the audience that come the day Brazil will bring some of the best musicians and artists. Chinese people will be exposed to some aspects of Brazilian culture that they do not know too much about.
