In Milan, the 2015 World Expo is officially underway. With the theme "Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life", more than 140 countries are showing their latest technologies and innovations for food during the six-month-long event.
China is one of them, with its pavilion being the second largest on show. And President Xi Jinping delivered a speech, stressing the Chinese theme: "Land of Hope, Food for life." He also wished the Milan Expo great success.
"The Chinese people have always believed that food is of top priority. China is the largest developing country in the world. Nothing is more important than feeding its over 1.3 billion population. Through our own efforts over the years, we have successfully fulfilled this mission and laid an important foundation for China's development. China is modernizing its agriculture. We look forward to exchanges of agricultural expertise with all other countries to jointly ensure food security in the world and advance human civilization," Xi said.
