Saudi Arabia unveiled a first look at the proposed Riyadh Expo 2030 site earlier this week, months ahead of the Kingdom finding out if it has secured the winning bid to host the world fair.

The Kingdom has set its sights on hosting the World Expo in Riyadh from October 1, 2030, to March 31, 2031, centered around the theme “The Era of Change: Together for a Foresighted Tomorrow.”

If successful, Saudi Arabia’s proposed site will cover about seven square kilometers and feature a “Loop of the World” avenue connecting pavilions from more than 220 countries.

In a new promotional video on Twitter, entitled ‘Riyadh is ready’, Saudi Arabia revealed a first look at what visitors to Expo 2030 can expect.

The 39-second clip showed a city-wide view of Riyadh, reflecting Saudi Arabia’s transformational journey to its modern-day metropolis. It also sheds light on Saudi Arabia’s focus on sustainability, which will be a key theme of Expo 2030, if the Kingdom secures the winning bid.

The video said Saudi Arabia will be the “most connected Expo ever,” with airline partner Riyadh Air connecting visitors from across the globe to the Kingdom, with visitors being able to get from “airport to site” within five minutes.

‘Riyadh is ready today,” it said.

The world's top five billionaires, according to real-time ranking by Forbes, as of January 12, 2023.

French billionaire Bernard Arnault announced Wednesday that his daughter Delphine would head his LVMH luxury empire's Dior fashion house in a leadership shuffle also featuring a new CEO at flagship brand Louis Vuitton.

The shake-up at LVMH's two leading brands came as Arnault has seen his wealth soar to new heights, overtaking Tesla and Twitter chief Elon Musk as the world's top billionaire late last year.

Bernard Arnault said the appointment of Delphine, a top executive at Louis Vuitton, as head of Christian Dior Couture is the "continuation of a career of excellence in fashion and leather goods.”

Under her direction, Louis Vuitton was able to "fly from record to record" and her "sharp eye and incomparable experience will be decisive assets in the continued development of Christian Dior," Arnault said in a statement.

She will succeed Pietro Beccari, who will replace Michael Burke as head of Louis Vuitton, the world's leading luxury brand in terms of sales, famous for its handbags bedecked with the initials "LV."
