Dubai – Home to one of the world’s oldest centres of civilisation, Yemen celebrated its National Day at Expo 2020 Dubai on Saturday, reinforcing the country’s influence on the Middle East region and the world at large.
A high-level delegation led by His Excellency Dr Moeen Abdul-Malik Saeed, Prime Minister of Yemen, was welcomed by Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy, UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation and Director General, Expo 2020 Dubai and His Excellency Khalifa Shaheen Almarar, UAE Minister of State, who witnessed the UAE and Yemeni flags raised to fly side by side at Al Wasl Plaza.
HE Dr Moeen Abdul-Malik Saeed said: "Yemen and the UAE have historical and brotherly relations, as demonstrated by the Emirates’ support to Yemen… including through its outstanding contributions to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people, whether through humanitarian, relief or development efforts.
“Yemen’s participation in Expo 2020 with a standalone pavilion, despite all the challenges it has faced and with the support of our Emirati brothers, conveys to the world the true image of Yemen – an old civilisation with a rich history and culture. The pavilion exemplifies the spirit of Yemenis, who spread virtue and drive progress wherever they go, contributing to the development of neighbouring countries and the wider world. This is why we chose ‘Descendants of Sheba’ as the Pavilion’s slogan, reinforcing that the civilisation of Yemen lives on."
HE Khalifa Shaheen Almarar said: “We commend the efforts of the Commissioner General and his team for Yemen’s fruitful participation, which sheds light on how ancient and modern knowledge merge, thereby unlocking unlimited possibilities for humankind. The pavilion showcases one of the oldest and most knowledge-rich civilisations – under the theme ‘Descendants of Sheba’ – and features ancient original handwritten manuscripts, giving visitors a glimpse into Yemen’s vast and rich heritage.
"The UAE continues to support Yemen's development across multiple sectors, such as agriculture, industry, mining, renewable energy and health care, and we look forward to expanding the horizon of our cooperation through Yemen's presence at Expo 2020 and beyond."
The Yemen Pavilion, located in the Sustainability District under the theme ‘Knowledge to the Power of Infinity’, reflecting the depth of its civilisation. The pavilion allows visitors to learn about multiple aspects of its civilisation, including its historical advancements in agriculture, science, culture and architecture.
