Jakarta, Nov 24, 2021 (Antara) The Indonesia Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai has whetted the curiosity of
thousands of visitors about the Southeast Asian country, prompting them
to learn more about the archipelago, including its culture, arts,
culinary products, and investment opportunities.
The Trade Ministry has set a target of attracting at least 10 percent of
visitors at the international expo, which is being held in the United
Arab Emirates (UAE), and is hoping to receive around 25 million people
from October 1, 2021 until March 31, 2022.
The Indonesia Pavilion is among the most popular at the international
exhibition, with the number of visitors to the pavilion reaching the 200
thousand-mark on November 2, 2021, according to Trade Minister Muhammad
Lutfi.
Children, in particular, are coming to the pavilion to see exotic animal
species such as the komodo dragons and rhinoceros projected on the
screen at the pavilion's Today Zone, Lutfi noted.
Children are also keen to see Indonesian kids dressed in traditional
attire and reciting an oath to protect the Earth in several languages,
such as Arabic, Indonesian, English, Chinese, French, Spanish, Russian,
German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, and Korean, he said.
"Visitors to the Indonesia Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai are offered to
catch a glimpse of Indonesia by experiencing and witnessing its
civilization, development, and opportunities. This is important, as we
are aiming to showcase Indonesia's important role in global development
in the past, present, and the future," Lutfi remarked at the pavilion on
November 3, a day prior to the inauguration of the Indonesia National
Day by President Joko Widodo in Dubai.
