Text of Statement made to Parliament by the Prime Minister,
Mr Harold Holt on 23rd August, 1967
In response to an invitation from the Government
of Japan, Australia has indicated . ts decision in principle to participate
in a world exposition with the theme " Progress and Harmony for
Mankind", to be held at Osaka from March to September, 197C.
This will be the first exposition of this kind to be
held in Asia, and the Government's decision has regard to Australia's
increasingly close relationships with ksia and with Japan in particular.
The exposition is to be similar in character and concept to EXF-O 67
at Montreal, at which Australia has a highly successful presentation.
It offers the opportunity for us further to portray to our friends . n Asia
and indeed to the world at large Australia's way of life, our achievements
and aspirations. The Government has not yet reached any decision on
the nature or scale of Australian participation at Osaka. These aspects
will be studied in tile light of the experience of our participation in EXPO 67
