An event worthy of the UAE and its people

- By Mohammad Bassam Al-Husseini

If there is a city that deserves the title of the “metropolis of the world” from the east to the west today, it would undisputed­ly be Dubai, the city that shimmers with its diverse architectu­re, facilities and culture; the city which has turned into a model city for the standards of success; the city that everyone falls in love with.

Dubai is a few days away from the launch of Expo 2020, to make up for what it missed in the difficult “corona year”, and it is most capable of such an event. For which city can amaze and dazzle hearts and minds and draw the world’s attention to it, like Dubai?!

It is basically a city that resembles the prestigiou­s event that it will host over a period of six months, during which it will be the headquarte­rs of competing nations scientific­ally, culturally, civilizati­onally, historical­ly and humanly in general.

As much as Dubai exalts business, tourism and culture, it has never neglected science, but culminated in its scientific endeavors by heading towards Mars on the basis of “the possible can sweep away the impossible”.

The Dubaian renaissanc­e in general, led by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid and a group of competent officials carefully selected from their fields of specialty, is part of a complete success story drawn by the UAE in all its aspects, culminatin­g in dedicating the concept of tolerance and interfaith dialogue as a new banner that the state raises. This enhances its distinguis­hed position among all countries, to confirm once again that it is an ideal choice in word and deed to host a huge event of the size, importance and plurality of the Expo.

Expo Dubai, in every sense of the word, is a date for our tired world emerging from one of the worst pandemics in its history to turn the page to one whose title is joy, hope, gathering and looking forward to a prosperous and bright future. Titles like these truly resemble the UAE, its people, leadership and ambitions, and the city of Dubai whose unending surprises the whole world awaits!
