The six-month long 2020 Dubai Expo came to an end this week, marking the end also of the United Nations Hub there, which aimed to explain to attendees, the central and diverse role the Organization plays at the heart of world events.
As the first Expo to be held in the Middle East, the mega-event was forced to delay its opening, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but ultimately, it attracted 23 million visits.
Maher Nasser, Director of the Outreach Division and UN Commissioner-General at Expo 2020, spoke to UN News’s Anshu Sharma who was in Dubai, for the closing day. He described its impact, and the legacy that it is providing, years into the future.
