The Secretary General of the BIE — Dimitri S. Kerkentzes — welcomed “this resounding expression of support” from the international community and the Government of the UAE and added that the decision “demonstrates the strong bonds that tie us and the shared commitment we have to deliver a truly inclusive World Expo”.
