A group of journalists from leading Japanese media yesterday were briefed about the Shanghai 2010 World Expo by the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination.

The Expo will have more than 20,000 performances during the 184-day event. About 100 sessions will be held every day in 32 outdoor or indoor stages around the Expo site.

The opening ceremony of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo on the night of April 30 will highlight the dialogue between cultures and China's exchange with the world, organizers told the reporters.

The closing ceremony on October 31 will sum up the achievement of the Expo, during which the "Shanghai Declaration" will be passed to provide guidelines for future urban development as a legacy of the Expo.

The performance theme in the Pudong section will be "World Classic," while in Puxi it will be "Future Innovation," Expo officials revealed.

As of June 19, 710 performances from across the world have been submitted, among which 240 came from Japan, organizers revealed yesterday. The media group also toured the Expo site following the meeting.
