Information & eGovernment Authority (iGA) chief Executive Mohammed Al Qaed visited the Bahrain Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, following his participation at the Seamless Middle East Conference and Expo.
He congratulated the UAE for its efforts in organising the expo, noting the high level of participation it is enjoying and the UAE’s track record of hosting successful global events.
Mr Al Qaed met Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (Baca) president and commissioner general of the Bahrain Pavilion Shaikha Mai bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, and congratulated her for her role in presenting a positive image of Bahrain to the world.
He visited several other pavilions, including those of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the secretariat general of the GCC, noting their excellent representation of Gulf culture.
Meanwhile, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum visited the Bahrain Pavilion yesterday, accompanied by Dubai Crown Prince Shaikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
Entitled ‘Density Weaves Opportunity’, the pavilion provides a window into Bahrain’s culture and heritage.
The Expo 2020 runs until March 31, 2022 and was postponed last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
It features 192 countries showcasing their culture in one of three thematic districts – Opportunity, Sustainability or Mobility – set on a 4.38sqkm area between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
