be postponed



The multibillion-dollar Expo 2020 trade fair scheduled to take place in Dubai this October is to be postponed, AFP reports.

Organizers had hoped to attract 25 million visitors to the six-month event, with Dubai pinning many of its economic forecasts on the trade it was expected to generate.

Expo 2020 Dubai director general Reem al-Hashimi said

Many countries have been significantly impacted by COVID-19 and they have therefore expressed a need to postpone the opening of Expo 2020 Dubai by one year,”.

The UAE and Expo 2020 Dubai have listened. And in the spirit of solidarity and unity, we supported the proposal to explore a one-year postponement.

The United Arab Emirates has announced 611 cases of coronavirus and five deaths. It has enforced extensive lockdown measures to curb the spread of the disease including an ongoing nighttime curfew.
