Luanda — The Universal Exhibition (Expo), whose opening was scheduled for October 20, 2020, was adjourned to the same month in 2021, announced on Tuesday the country's Inter-ministerial Commission for Expo Dubai.
According to the document, changing the date does not mean canceling the activity, which is why the registered countries will have to carry on with the projects they have already started, namely the completion of the construction of the exhibition pavilions.
The note adds that the date change was approved by the International Exhibition Bureau assembly, which defined the end date of the event as March 31, 2022.
This exhibition - which takes place in a space of 4.38 square kilometres, in the southern district of Dubai, close to Al Maktoum International Airport - will have its own metro station, capable of carrying 36,000 passengers per hour.
The most recent exhibition, which started in 2015, was held in Milan, Italy, under the theme "Feeding the planet, energy for life".
