Visitors to Expo 2020 Dubai have exceeded 20 million, indicating that the global event was a success, said Osmar Chohfi, president of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce (ABCC).
“The past few years have proven to be an exceptionally challenging period for the world. We must laud the UAE’s successful efforts in organising the Expo 2020 Dubai amid these obstacles, hosting the largest event of its kind in the world, that has helped serve as a beacon of hope for the future,” he said in a statement to Wam.
“The platform has been exceptionally utilised to facilitate many global summits and conferences presided over by distinguished government officials and global leaders,” he added. This only highlights the event and the UAE’s significant contribution to the revival and recovery of the global economy and its various vital sectors, such as business, tourism, and travel.
According to him, the global exposition has yielded several positive results, from the signing of hundreds of cooperation agreements and MoUs to the announcement of plans by many institutions and companies to launch offices in Dubai. “All these initiatives have contributed to marking the UAE’s position on the global investment and tourism map and solidify its position as a global station that can attract international public-private partnerships.”
The efficient organisation of the event has allowed visitors to enjoy the activities and sites while still adhering to strict safety protocols. “This effort was praised by various media outlets, who presented the UAE as a model of development, innovation, and tolerance for the world,” Chohfi added.
“By hosting this global exposition, the UAE offered the world access to in-depth knowledge of the UAE’s history, civilisation, heritage, and culture.”
