[YONHAP] BUSAN — A delegation from the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) went straight to Eulsukdo, a river island known for its role as a sanctuary for migratory birds, Tuesday as soon as it arrived in Busan to assess the city's readiness to host the World Expo 2030. Eulsukdo, sitting where Nakdong River empties into the South Sea, was chosen because the sandy island has a unique history of becoming an ecological park from a landfill site for tens of thousands of tons of garbage in the 1980s through the 2000s.
