Paris: The Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) today announced that Expo 2020 to be hosted in Dubai, UAE is set to be a fully inclusive World Expo with all countries in the world invited and welcomed to take part.
Vicente G.

“For more than 170 years, World Expos have been the showcase of innovation and inspiration to all humankind. By inviting all countries of the world to take part, including the State of Israel, the organizers of Expo 2020 are genuinely reflecting the universal spirit of World Expos”.
Mr. Loscertales added that “The Paris Convention of 1928, which governs World Expos, calls us to celebrate the means at humanity’s disposal for meeting the needs of civilisation, and to demonstrate the progress of human endeavour and our prospects for the future. This is a global calling, and one that all states in the Middle East and the world have a part to play in meeting.”
