Her Excellency Dr. Maitha bint Salem Al Shamsi, Minister of State, visited Indonesia’s pavilion in the Opportunity Zone at Expo 2020 Dubai, which bears the slogan “A home for diversity and a glimpse of tomorrow”, and highlights Indonesia’s efforts for a better future through innovations that combine modern technologies with local knowledge.
His Excellency Al Shamsi was briefed on the different sections of the pavilion, which are divided into three main areas, each of which sheds light on a different era. The first section reviews the era of the historical spice and silk road, which was reviewed by a set of crystal boxes, each containing a type of Indonesian spice.
As for the second era, it represents the present, which highlights the most important agricultural, commercial, industrial and tourism wealth in Indonesia, and the third section sheds light on Indonesia’s vision for the future by 2045, when it celebrates the 100th anniversary of its independence.
Her Excellency listened to an explanation of the civilizational and cultural heritage of Indonesia, such as the weaving craft passed down through generations, as well as the local and traditional products that Indonesia is famous for.
Her Excellency Dr. Maitha Al Shamsi thanked the team working on the pavilion and expressed her happiness for Indonesia’s participation in Expo 2020 Dubai, wishing the Indonesian people all progress and prosperity.
