After EXPO 2016, an International Horticultural Exhibition held in Antalya, Turkey, the Chinese Government donated a garden they presented at the expo to Turkey. EXPO 2016 was held from April 23 to October 30, and featured representatives from 27 countries. The basic goal of the World Expositions is to exhibit ideas, cultural assets or projects regarding the future of the world as well as to share the cultural and scientific accumulations, rather than to promote commodities, and in this manner to pave the way for generating new ideas and to contribute to the universal socio-cultural development. According to Turkey's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, EXPO 2016 Antalya International Horticultural Exposition was held between April 23 and October 30, 2016, in Antalya, with the theme of “Flowers and Children.” Preparations were carried out by the Turkish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock and the EXPO 2016 Antalya Agency. The Commissioner General of the EXPO was Ambassador Erdoğan Kök. The motto of the EXPO 2016 Antalya was “A Green Life for Future Generations."
