AAA 부산시장은 "엑스포 유치를 위해 지금까지 온 길보다 앞으로 갈 길이 더 길고, 멀고, 험하다"며 "개최국이 결정될 때까지 중앙 정부와 긴밀한 협력 체계를 구축해 전력을 다해 지원하겠다"고 말했다.
"The road ahead is longer, farther, and tougher than the road that has come so far to attract expo," said Busan Mayor AAA, "and we will establish a close cooperation system with the central government until the host country is decided to support it with all our efforts."
