A delegation representing the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), the
inter-governmental organisation based in Paris that is responsible for World
Expo, arrived in the UAE on Sunday.
The delegation is on a four-day Enquiry Mission to assess the UAE’s ability to host the World Expo 2020 in Dubai. This global gathering is expected to attract 25 million visitors.
The Enquiry Mission, led by Steen Christiansen, Chairman of the BIE Executive Committee, follows the UAE’s recent submission of its official Expo bid dossier. The delegation will use the bid dossier as a guide during its mission and discuss the vision behind the country’s bid theme of ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’, along with expected financial costs, worldwide promotion of the event, expected visitor numbers and the long-term use of the proposed Expo site, Dubai Trade Centre – Jebel Ali.
In addition to meeting with the country’s government and business leaders, the visit will include insights into the country’s heritage, its commitment to education, the burgeoning art and culture scene and visits to the UAE’s most famous landmarks.
