The minister inaugurated the India Pavilion at EXPO2020 Dubai on October 1, and FICCI is the industry partner of the event that will run till March 31, 2022.
“It was a tough task, right in the midst of COVID through the last two years, fighting against all odds, project getting delayed, full of uncertainties, full of challenges. But with all of those difficulties, I think we have come up with the best pavilion at the Dubai EXPO2020. It is one of the most visible and highly visited pavilions – appreciated by all those who had a chance to visit that – and compliments to the entire team for making it happen, making it happen successfully,”Shri Goyal said.

The Minister also added that, “As indicated on earlier occasions, I am hoping to replicate the Dubai India Pavilion experience at the Pragati Maidan in India so that we have a permanent location which can be a matter of pride for every Indian who visits Delhi and goes to Pragati Maidan.”
Shri Uday Shankar, President, FICCI, said,“I had the opportunity to work very closely with Shri Piyush Goyal during Dubai Expo. If Dubai Expo has the largest footfall at India Pavilion, the credit for that goes to Shri Piyush Goyal.”
Shri Sanjiv Mehta, President-Elect, FICCI, also thanked the minister for his support and guidance, and said, “It was not easy, amidst the pandemic, in a foreign land, but the team did a great job.”
