Come witness India’s growth journey at the Expo 2020 Dubai!

DUBAI: At a time when the whole world is coming together to recover from the pandemic and bring growth back on track, a resurgent India is ready to take on the responsibility of being the frontrunner in this revival process, said Minister of Commerce & Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution and Textiles, Government of India, Piyush Goyal.

The minister inaugurated the India Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, which showcases India’s vibrant culture, along with the diverse partnership opportunities that the country is capable of offering. 

“The reforms unleashed in the last seven years by the government under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and especially during the Corona period, are set to boost the country’s manufacturing and exports potential and make India a global economic hub, besides strengthening its capabilities in the technology space. India is already a leading player in the global markets in IT, Pharma and space technology, and with the development of research and innovation capabilities, the country’s prowess in these areas would help reap the benefits of new-age technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics,” said Goyal. 

He added that the lessons learnt from the pandemic have also emboldened our confidence of surpassing any challenge in the future with the help of our scientific and entrepreneurial research and development capabilities — whether it is the development of pharma and healthcare products or running of the world’s biggest vaccination program banking on the two indigenously produced vaccines, India has set several examples.

The minister congratulated the UAE leadership for being able to deliver this massive enterprise, EXPO 2020, despite the difficult times. Stressing on the significance of India’s participation in EXPO 2020, Goyal said, “It is happening at a time when India is celebrating 75 years of its independence, and UAE is celebrating the 50th year of its foundation. UAE is one of India’s most valued partners and a close friend. EXPO 2020 will prove to be a landmark in strengthening the relationship between the two countries further. 

The minister added that those visiting the India Pavilion during the six months of EXPO 2020, till March 31, 2022, will get a glimpse of the country’s ancient treasures, business achievements, innovations, and leading opportunities with cutting-edge technologies. 

“The India Pavilion will showcase a modern, robust India — high on technology, while simultaneously exhibiting the beauty of Indian art, culture, and cuisine during the 183 days that the event will run,” Goyal said.
