Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will attend Iranian National Pavilion Day at the Shanghai World Expo on June 11, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang Tuesday at a regular news briefing.

J-Pop group SMAP's scheduled performance on June 13 at the Shanghai World Expo has been cancelled after the authorities deemed it a safety risk.
