Dubai: Malaysia Pavilion’s Gold Award win at the BIE Day Awards Ceremony in Expo 2020 Dubai marks the country’s first gold victory since it first participated in a world expo in 1970.

The Award won was for Theme Interpretation for the Expo 2020 Dubai Official Participant Awards involving about 200 countries and organisations, hosted by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE).

The award category recognises the Pavilion’s interpretation of the Expo 2020 Dubai’s theme ‘Connecting Minds, Creating the Future’ with sub-themes of ‘Sustainability’, ‘Mobility’, and ‘Opportunity’. The Pavilions are evaluated on the effectiveness of their communication to the world on their efforts to solve the urgent and pressing challenges connected to the themes.

Bearing the theme of ‘Energising Sustainability’, the Malaysia Pavilion aims to tell the story of how socio-economic progress can happen without the expense of the environment, as the people builds forward towards a sustainable future.

“We are very proud of this accolade by the Expo 2020 Dubai organisers. It reflects Malaysia’s success in telling the world of our nation’s commitment towards sustainability by maintaining our biodiversity. We hope that we have left a positive impact on our visitors to the Malaysia Pavilion to inspire change in any capacity that they can,”
