The Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) has praised the UAE's preparations for the expo next year.
"The UAE is fully prepared to host an exceptional edition of the expo next year, and the BIE is well satisfied with its logistical and technical preparations," Vicente Gonzalez Loscertales, Secretary-General of the BIE, said.
In a statement in Paris, Loscertales said: "The BIE is closely monitoring Dubai's preparations, as well as the preparations of various local bodies, for the global event, which will be held from October 2020. The BIE is sure of the readiness of the UAE, since it won the honour of hosting the largest exhibition in the world in Dubai.
"We are eagerly awaiting the launch of this unique version of the expo in the UAE, and we are certain that Dubai will dazzle us and the world in 2020, as we have felt and are feeling the team spirit.
"The preparations are all going according to plan, within the timeframe of the UAE's programme, which was presented at the meetings of the BIE General Assembly," he added. "We noticed that the Emirati team managing the Expo's preparations has prioritised the needs of potential visitors and participating countries, which will all have their own pavilions, reflecting Dubai's readiness to host this edition of the largest expo in the world," Loscertales said.
