Mohammed bin Rashid reçoit le Secrétaire général du Bureau International des Expositions
Tuesday, 28 February 2012 - UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum received the Secretary General of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) Vicente Gonzalez Loscertales at Zabeel Palace today. Sheikh Mohammed welcomed the official who is visiting the country to examine Dubai's credentials to host World Expo 2020.
UAE launches campaign to host 2020 World Expo in Dubai
The United Arab Emirates launched today the country’s campaign to host the 2020 World Expo in Dubai. Following an official bid submitted under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, the global campaign will underscore why Dubai is the ideal candidate to host this international event that takes place once every five years.
The campaign kicked off in parallel with the first official visit to the UAE, since the country submitted its bid in November, by Mr. Vicente Gonzalez Loscertales, Secretary General of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), the intergovernmental organisation in charge of overseeing the calendar, bidding, selection, and organisation of World and International Expos. During his visit to the country, the BIE Secretary General is meeting a range of high-level decision-makers in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Under the theme, “Connecting Minds, Creating the Future,” the 2020 World Expo in Dubai will serve as a global hub for ideas and a springboard for creativity, according to His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of the Emirates Group, and Chairman of the Higher Committee for Hosting the 2020 World Expo.
Addressing regional and international media at a briefing today in Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Ahmed said, “Since 1851, World Expos have provided significant opportunities to engage the world community in a shared project. This is also our goal, here in Dubai, where we unite peoples and cultures from across the globe every day.”
“Expos are unique events of international cooperation dedicated to the communication of innovation and the promotion of global dialogue,” said Mr. Loscertales. “We look forward to learning more about the UAE project, its vision and its bid campaign for hosting World Expo 2020 in Dubai.”
Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy, UAE Minister of State and Managing Director of the Higher Committee for Hosting the 2020 World Expo, said that “By connecting people, which lies at the heart of our vision as a cosmopolitan nation, we can foster greater cooperation and understanding between peoples and cultures. By connecting minds, we celebrate our common aspirations and work to create a brighter future. That is our vision for the 2020 World Expo in Dubai.”
The UAE has proposed hosting the six-month Expo at “Exhibition City,” a 400-hectare site to be constructed on the southwestern edge of Dubai, adjacent to Dubai World Central, home to Al Maktoum International Airport, which will host the 2013 Dubai Airshow.
In November of last year, the UAE officially presented its bid to the BIE in Paris, France, to host the World Expo in Dubai between January 4-June 30, 2020. The bid is being led by the Higher Committee for Hosting the 2020 World Expo.
The winner among the five candidate cities – which include Ayutthaya (Thailand); Ekaterinburg (Russia); Izmir (Turkey); and Sao Paulo (Brazil) – will be announced by the BIE following a vote by its 160 member nations in November 2013.

Expo 2020 Dubai - Web site
The website Expo 2020 Dubai, UAE is finally online, I suggest you find out at:
http://expo2020dubai.ae/
Connecting Minds, Creating the Future
In today’s rapidly evolving society there is one constant – the power of the human mind.
Well before the invention of the written word, printing and now the internet, it is the human mind that has shaped society through discussion, debate and ultimately decision making. Whilst technology is the enabler for the modern world, it is still people’s decision making abilities that shape life today and tomorrow.
Each individual human mind is a powerful tool, but it is when minds connect that real change takes place. This is played out at every level of society, from the family unit, through to friendships, to how people dwell and connect in towns and cities, right through to the identity and culture of a nation.
Nothing shapes the world like the imagination.
Sometimes, with all the challenges we face, it is easy to overlook this astonishing evolutionary success story.
And while human success presents immense challenges across the coming centuries, it is human imagination and creativity that remains the best hope for progress and peaceful co-existence in the generations to come.
Formulating a theory. Falling in love. Starting a business. Bringing up a family. Persuading an audience. Trying out an idea. Taking a stand. Writing a poem or an equation. Forming a friendship. Founding a city. Building a nation.
So much that is best about being human depends on making a connection.

Connecting Minds, Creating the Future
Many candidates were presented this Wednesday, November 23, 2011. Two for 2017 and five in 2020.
This is the last of the day, the most recent application, since it was filed in the Bureau International des Expositions on the day of the deadline for applications for the organization of a World's Fair in 2020.
This is one of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
As stated by His Majesty Sheikh Mohammed bin Maktoum Al Tashid: "Dubai is ideally placed to host the world at the Universal Exhibition of 2020. We would be able to do it. We would be honoured to do it."
The delegation was present in Paris led by Sheikh Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation and Chairman and CEO of Emirates Airline.
The delegation consists of Reem Al Hashemi, Minister of State, Mohammad Ebrahim Al Shaibani, Director General of the Supreme Court of Dubai, Ahmad Al Shaikh, director general of the Dubai government media Hilal Saeed Al Merri, CEO of Dubai World Trade Centre and Mohammad Abdullah Al Raisi Meer, UAE Ambassador to France.
Reem Al Hashemi is taking the floor to present the Dubai project, and she exposes the strengths of the candidates, and the willingness of the emirates to receive and organize the Expo 2020.
Un des premiers points que cette candidature veut aborder est la possibilité de rassembler le monde.
En effet, Dubaï se veut être un carrefour stratégique entre l'Europe, l'Asie et l'Afrique. Le Golfe était déjà une plaque tournante du commerce il y a 2500 ans, il souhaite le rester aujourd'hui, et plus encore, développer les contacts et les coopérations. Dubaï est une ville de grande diversité, sûre et sécurisée pour plus de 200 nationalités.
One of the first application that wants to address is the ability to bring the world together.
Indeed, Dubai wants to be a strategic crossroads between Europe, Asia and Africa. The Gulf was already a hub of trade 2500 years ago, and hopes remain today, and more, developing contacts and cooperation. Dubai is a city of great diversity, security and safe for more of 200 nationalities.
In 2021 the UAE will celebrate their 50 years of existence. This is one of the youngest nations in the world, which also one of the youngest populations, with 50% have less than 20 years.
This exhibition is an opportunity to make lasting event in the world.
The rapid development of the UAE shows the world its ability to implement a World Expon and this, with the same energy and enthusiasm they had to build their city.
The country has already infrastructure to accommodate visitors to Expo 2020 Dubai. Two-thirds of the world are less than 8 hours from Dubai.
On this basis, and that the human mind is an incredible tool, it is clear that nothing can better shape the world that imagination and creativity of man.
These two points to be at the base of the hopes of progress and co-existence for future generations.
Formulate a theory - Falling in love - Starting a Business - Raising a family - Persuading an audience - Testing an idea - Taking a stand - Write a poem or an equation - Initiate a friendship - Establishing a City - Building a nation.
Many human achievements depend on their connections!
"Connecting the mind, creating the future" is the theme of Expo 2020 Dubai project.
The site of the Expo?
In Dubai, it is not the place is lacking. The proposed site is a site of 400 hectares in the southwest of Dubai, right next to the new Al Maktoum International Airport which when finished, will have a capacity of 160 million passengers a year.
A high-speed rail link will connect Al Maktoum Airport at Dubai International Airport. The Expo will also be connected to the city by metro.
The greatest World's Fairs of 1851 in London until 2010 in Shanghai have left visible marks on the architecture of cities that have hosted.
Dubai and the UAE are in need of civic spaces where people can gather.
The UAE Pavilion at Expo 2010 Shanghai has already surfaced on the skyline of Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi. This is the only pavilion in Shanghai to be "going home".
After 2020, the Parc Expo Dubai will begin a new life as "Exhibition City" - a sustainable solution, but also a monument to the power of connectivity: a place for people to meet and connect, to advance world.
Dubai plans to host Expo 2020 from January 4 to June 30, 2020. It seems the best season, where temperatures are more pleasant. It is also a very rich sporting, cultural and business period.
In May begins the main holiday periods in this part of the world, able to bring up to visitors.
I'll leave the last word to Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum bin Akmed:
"The people of Dubai and the UAE are at your disposal ... we will do everything to ensure we host a World Expo, which you, as the custodians, can be rightly proud of."
