Bratislava, June 17 (TASR) - Slovakia's pavilion at the 2010 World Exposition in Shanghai recorded its one millionth visitor on Thursday after less than two months in place.
"Such high attendance is proof that Slovakia has things to show off and be proud of in the world," said Ivan Magatova, chief of the Slovak pavilion.
"I am longing to see Slovakia first hand since I know that it is a country with beautiful nature and rich culture," said the millionth visitor, 42-year-old Zhang. He is with the Institute for Chemistry and Physics in the town of Lanzhou. He was welcomed at the entrance with large Chinese and English signs and the flags of China and Slovakia.
Zhang, who demonstrated prior knowledge of Slovakia, has inquired amid heated discussions about film images on the country as well as travelling in the Schengen zone.
