SHANGHAI: The government must mobilize the public to safeguard security, which is the priority of the Shanghai World Expo, the top Shanghai official said Wednesday.
Yu made the remarks at the ongoing annual session of the municipal advisory body.
The measures in safeguarding security and smooth traffic may cause inconveniences to the citizens's daily life. The government should seek public opinions and understanding to hold a successful Expo, he said.
"We should call for citizens to carry as few bags as possible or even no bags when traveling by subway so as to reduce the pressure on security checks," he said.
The 2010 World Expo will be held from May 1 to October 31 in Shanghai, expected to attract an record total of 70 million visitors.
