  • Story Text: THREE EAST EUROPEAN NATIONS -- CZECHOSLOVAKIA, THE SOVIET UNION AND BULGARIA -- ARE AMONG THE 77 COUNTRIES TAKING PART IN EXPO 70, WHICH OPENS IN THE JAPANESE CITY OF OSAKA LATER THIS MONTH. ALL THREE COUNTRIES ARE HOPING THEIR PRESENCE WILL HELP TO BOOST TRADE WITH JAPAN.

    THE CZECH PAVILION FEATURES TRADITIONAL GLASSWARE WITH THE OBJECT OF INCREASING ITS EXPORT POTENTIAL.

    THE SOVIET UNION HAS CONTRIBUTED THE LARGEST AND TALLEST OF ALL THE PAVILIONS. IT CONSISTS OF FIVE SECTIONS, INCLUDING ONE DEVOTED TO THE RUSSIAN SPACE PROGRAMME. DURING THE EXPOSITION, RUSSIAN COSMONAUTS ARE SCHEDULED TO GIVE PUBLIC LECTURES.

    DESIGNED TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION OF THE SOVIET FLAG STREAMING IN THE WIND, THE PAVILION WILL GIVE VISITORS A COMPREHENSIVE PICTURE OF RUSSIAN HISTORY, CULTURE AND DEVELOPMENT.

    BULGARIA'S PAVILION HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO SYMBOLISE THE BALKAN MOUNTAINS. INTERIOR DISPLAYS WILL BE AIMED AT INCREASING BULGARIAN TOURISM AS WELL AS PROMOTING TRADE.

    SYNOPSIS: THOUGH JAPAN'S TRADE WITH THE SOVIET UNION HAS GROWN IMPRESSIVELY IN RECENT YEARS, TRADE CONTACT WITH BULGARIA AND CZECHOSLOVAKIA HAS BEEN NEGLIGIBLE. THEY HOPE TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION BY JOINING THE SEVENTY-SEVEN COUNTRIES WITH PAVILIONS AT EXPO SEVENTY.
