Six-month-long event expected to spur job opportunities after COVID lockdown
As Dubai opens its doors to host the much-awaited Expo 2020 from October 1, non-resident Indians (NRIs) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are excited about the six-month-long event spurring job opportunities after the COVID-19 lockdown.
Expo 2020 was originally scheduled from October 20, 2020 to April 10, 2021. However, due to the pandemic, the event was postponed. It will now culminate on March 31, 2022. “We have been waiting for it for so long. Expectations from business houses are very high since an uplift is crucial after all spheres of activity went down due to the pandemic,” said Mohammed Hashim, an NRI in Dubai.
On Tuesday, Expo 2020 Dubai launched its official song titled ‘This is our time’, highlighting the pride in the culture of the UAE and connecting nations from around the world through the universal language of music. “Millions of people are looking up to the greatest show in the world in recent times as it will pave the way for growth in all sectors,” added Mr. Hashim.
