Federal President Horst Köhler called for a cooperative global politics to restriction the climate change and poverty.He said the humankind need exchanges of ideas as it is presented at the EXPO in China. At the official state reception in Beijing, Köhler said:
"I myself convinced that the motto of the Expo „Better City, Better Life", „Bessere Stadt, besseres Leben", is a well-chosen motto, because more and more people move to the cities and we just need that balance. Of human encounters and human coexistence, also a balance of nature, handling with sewage and resource problems. I believe that this World’s Fair will set signals for future developments for humanity as a whole."
The EXPO-AXIS as a German-Chinese cooperated project offered for that event an appropriate setting. As a sustainable large-scale structure, which is a symbol for that World’s Fair, the AXIS provides small-scale qualities of a grown city. The AXIS with their resource-saving and innovative energy concept gives a valuable contribution to the motto "Better City, Better Life".
