Indonesia will participate in the Expo 2020 Dubai event, which will take place from October 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022. For six months, Indonesia will show various advantages in various fields and promote all potential trade, investment, and tourism opportunities at the international event.

"Indonesia's participation in the Expo 2020 Dubai event is a golden opportunity because it brings many benefits, including strengthening Indonesia's economic growth," said Director General of National Export Development of the Ministry of Trade, Didi Sumedi, in his official statement.

Indonesia carries the theme "Connecting Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow" at the international Expo. Indonesia's presence is expected to strengthen Indonesia's bilateral relations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
