Coronavirus Impact: Dubai’s Expo 2020 likely to be held next year

The World’s Greatest Show, Expo 2020 Dubai is likely to be held next year in view of Coronavirus pandemic. 

According to reports, the Dubai government is expected to make an official announcement soon on the event being postponed to next year following a meeting between officials from the United Arab Emirates and foreign countries that were set to participate.

However, a formal delay would be confirmed at a later meeting of member states of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), which awards the event, stated a source.

An estimated 11 million overseas visitors were expected to attend the nearly six-month-long showpiece of culture, business and technology featuring pavilions from 192 countries that was due to start in October.
