S. Korea's Busan comes up short in World Expo bid
Residents look dejected at a citizen's hall in the southeastern port city of Busan on Nov. 29, 2023, after South Korea failed to win its bid to host the 2030 World Expo in Busan during the 173rd general assembly of the Bureau International des Expositions in Paris the previous day. In the first round of voting at the assembly, Saudi Arabia's Riyadh won a resounding victory over Busan and Italy's Rome without a runoff vote. (Yonhap)
