UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has said that the UAE can provide an integrated file for hosting World Expo 2020 in Dubai after succeeding over 40 past years in many assemblies and making a lot of achievements that would entitle it to host this much-anticipated world event.

In a statement to journalists following his participation in the meeting of the higher committee for hosting World Expo 2020 held in Dubai on Wednesday, Sheikh Abdullah said the file would be submitted in the first quarter of next year. Sheikh Abdullah said that it would reflect the ambitions of not only the United Arab Emirates, but the region in general as well. The minister emphasised that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' role supports the work of the higher committee for hosting the World Expo 2020 in Dubai. – Emirates News Agency, WAM
