It will be the first landmark global event in the Greater Mekong Subregion. The mega-event will be featuring the theme \u201cDiversity of Life: Connecting Water, Plants, and People for Sustainable Living\u201d driven by the \u20183S\u2019 food and farming policy and BCG economic model of the government and SDGs of the United Nations.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><b>At the annual general meeting 2022 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) agreed to the Thai proposal in which International Horticultural Expo 2026 will be hosted in Udon Thani province during 1 November 2026 to 14 March 2027. The proposed theme is \u201cDiversity of Life: Connecting Water, Plants, and People for Sustainable Living\u201d, citing the site\u2019s unique wetland area and the special connection between water, natural resources, and the people living in it.&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Presenting the proposal at the handover ceremony of the event to a new host destination was <b>H.E.

This aims to fulfill the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals while adhering to the climate aspiration of the Paris Agreement. Such commitment can serve the theme and presentation of the Expo in Udon Thani and will help shed light on the sustainability issue, inspire and ignite collaboration on global actionable measures towards sustainability living with minimal cost to the ecosystem\u2019.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">Also attending the meeting was <b>Mr. Sayam Sirimongkol, Udon Thani\u2019s Governor,<\/b> who reaffirmed the city\u2019s readiness to ensure the success of the Expo. The Udon Thani Expo 2026 will be the first International Horticultural Expo ever held in a wetland area.
