Dubai (ST): An Emirati delegation headed by Minister of Education Hussain Al Hammadi visited the Syria pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, toured its sections and reviewed the various artistic and cultural exhibits in it, from the first alphabet to the room designated to listen to the oldest musical note in history.

The visiting delegation expressed great admiration for the collective art exhibition hosted by the pavilion under the title “I am  Syrian”, where each painting displayed represents an aspect of life from Syria.

Al-Hammadi said in a statement: “I was pleased to visit the Syrian pavilion and learn about the oldest civilizations through the existing exhibits, as it contains a huge content of the greatness of Syrian history and the new vision to achieve a better future for the Syrian state,” referring to the good organization and modern display tools inside the pavilion, which turned the Syrian pavilion into the Mecca of visitors in Expo  Dubai 2020.
