"For our Regions and territories, Expo 2020 Dubai - the first
Universal Expo to be held in a country of the Arab,
Middle-Eastern, North African and South-East Asia region - is a
unique stage that can boost visibility in a world that over the
next few years will offer remarkable investment opportunities,
while also giving new momentum to the flow of international
tourists," said Regional Affairs Minister Mariastella Gelmini.
