US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has issued a letter supporting the United States’ representation at the Shanghai 2010 World Expo.

In her letter to the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai and a number of similar letters sent to leading US-China trade associations, Secretary Clinton urges the Chamber and its members to support the official US Pavilion organizer in its effort to successfully raise funds and build and operate the proposed USA Pavilion.

“I believe that it is crucial for the United States to be present along with the other 180 nations participating in this major global event with its environmental theme of ‘Better City, Better Life.’ Our national pavilion will also demonstrate America’s commitment to renewing its leadership in the Asia-Pacific region and to a forward-looking, positive relationship with China.” Ms. Clinton wrote in her letter.

USA Pavilion Co-Chair Ellen Eliasoph stated, “The US Pavilion, which will form a key element of one of the most spectacular events in world history, will showcase American ingenuity, innovation and its ‘Can Do’ spirit in China’s most dynamic city, embody America’s commitment to the ‘greening’ of our country and the world, and foster an even stronger friendship between the American and Chinese peoples.”

theme of "Better City, Better Life." The U.S. presenge at the Expo will showcase American business, culture, and values in China's most dynamic city and foster an even stronger friendship between the Arnerican and Chinese peoples. Our national pavilion will also demonstrate America's commitment to? renewing its leadership in the Asia-Pacific region and to a g, positive relationship with China.
