His Excellency Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of the Republic of Turkey, paid a visit to Expo 2020 Dubai on Tuesday (15 February), joining the celebrations for his country’s National Day at Al Wasl Plaza.
His Excellency Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, UAE Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence and Commissioner General of Expo 2020 Dubai, and Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy, UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation and Director General of Expo 2020 Dubai, greeted President Erdogan.
President Erdogan praised the theme of Expo 2020 Dubai, ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future,’ in his speech, saying, “We should all think together for a brighter future. To achieve this, we must act together… The disasters and new challenges faced by the world, especially in environment and health, lead us to seek solutions together.
Achieving sustainability in all areas from agriculture to energy, from environment to economy is a priority goal. Turkey’s participation in Expo, under the subtheme of Sustainability, is an expression of our strong stance in this area. Whatever happens, we are pursuing… a process of development that respects man, nature, and environment.”
HE Sheikh Nahayan said, “The Turkish pavilion sheds light on the country’s traditional heritage and economic prospects, through various exhibits that showcase its latest innovations. The pavilion outlines Turkey’s status as an excellent touristic, educational, and medical destination, and highlights its various investment opportunities across a range of sectors, including automotive, construction, logistics, aviation, and tourism.
Diplomatic relations between the UAE and Turkey are witnessing continuous progress across various fields. The UAE constantly strives to enhance its bilateral relations with the Republic of Turkey through investments in sectors of common interest, with the aim of enhancing the deep cultural, religious, and historical ties that we share.”
Expo 2020, which runs until March 31, 2022, has invited visitors from all over the world to participate in the creation of a new world during a six-month celebration of human creativity, innovation, progress, and culture.
