Horticulture exhibition to foster 'dialogue between humans, nature'

The upcoming International Horticultural Exhibition Beijing 2019, set to open on April 29 in Beijing's Yanqing district, will be a major gathering for people from all over the world and a "green" business card for modern China, a senior official for the exhibition said.

Ye Dahua, deputy director-general of the expo's coordination bureau, said major construction for the event has been completed and support facilities are already being used.

"The expo is not only a good opportunity for communication between people from different parts of the world, it also fosters dialogue between humans and nature," he said.
