GREAT GOING

-

THE response Dubai is eliciting to its hosting of the Expo2020 shows that the event will surpass all expectatio­ns (“190 Countries Conirm THEIR participat­ion In Expo 2020 dubai ,” nov .26, the gulf today ).

The large number of countries which HAVE Conirmed THEIR participat­ion Conirms DUBAI’S position As A truly global destinatio­n.

With a little under 700 days to go until Expo 2020’s opening ceremony, the milestone indicates that Expo has already surpassed the 180-nation commitment set out in its successful 2013 bid to host a World Expo for the irst time In THE MIDDLE East, AFRICA and South Asia (MEASA) region.

Dubai is known for hosting world class events. I have been attending the Dubai World Cup, the elite horse racing event, for two years now and it is truly spectacula­r in all discipline­s. If this is the standard it has set than the Expo will be a global hit. Branca Saldanha
