Australian parliamentary secretary Mike Kelly said here on Wednesday that his government will spend nearly 50 million dollars (47.7 million U.S. dollars) on a pavilion to showcase Australia at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
The expo would be an opportunity to raise Australia's profile in a strategic market, parliamentary Kelly told the parliament.
"It is essential that the Australian presence at the expo be commensurate with our economic and strategic interests in China," Dr Kelly said.
A temporary pavilion will be built with public exhibition areas and the capacity to host VIP, business and cultural programs.
