The World Exhibition EXPO 2020 DUBAI is likely to be postponed in a year
The main theme of Expo 2020 Dubai "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future" is a symbol of innovation and progress. The main idea is designed to reflect a vision of progress and development based on common purpose, commitment and cooperation.


According to yesterday's statement, "the organizers and participants of the Expo 2020 steering committees are examining the possibility of postponing the event by one year due to the global COVID-19 pandemic". The organizers of EXPO 2020 in Dubai continue to assess the situation and work closely with all stakeholders as well as the organizer of the Bureau of International Expositions (BIE). However, only the BIE General Assembly can make a final decision on deferral .


Expo 2020 Dubai will be the first world exhibition to take place in the Middle East, Africa and Asia region and the first in the Arab world. Due to the spectacular celebrations of the Golden Anniversary, the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United Arab Emirates, it is expected to be different from previous world exhibitions. The organizers expect an average of 25 million visitors to visit the exhibition. More than 200 participants, 180 countries as well as multinational companies, educational institutions and NGOs are planning to take part in the exhibition.

We continue to monitor the situation.
