Mozambique in the Africa Joint Pavilion celebrates its National Pavilion Day today with performances from its traditional troupe.

With a "Better District, Better Life" theme, Mozambique hopes to showcase the country's achievements in areas such as education, hygiene, science and technology, economy, environmental protection and planning and share experience with other countries in promoting urbanization, economic development and improving people's livelihoods, Armando Artur, Minister of Culture, said at this morning's ceremony in the Expo Center.

The Expo 2010 would promote world peace and development, respect and help countries learn from each other in urban construction and development.

Ou'yang Jian, China's vice minister of Culture, congratulated Mozambique on the 35-year anniversary of its independence and the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Mozambique.

He said the country's exhibition not only displays its achievement in urban construction, but also its focus on regional development and planning and sustainable development.

The Mozambique Pavilion emphasizes regional development to achieve goals and sustainable development and showcases progress in its cities.

The pavilion's four areas are linked by the "Zambezi River." There are a school, a traditional cottage, a hospital and a modern apartment building.

The school represents education and culture, the hospital shows science and technology and the cottage of traditional materials features tourism and hotels.

The residence is the welcome and information area and features projects on public engineering, urbanization, road construction and beach erosion.

There are also two major projects for exhibitions highlighting a bridge and a dam.
