Thanks to the efforts of country’s youth, Oman pavilion bagged gold award at Dubai Expo 2020

Oman's bond with nature was featured at Expo 2020 Muscat: Omani youth, whose talents helped create the nation's pavilion at Expo 2020, as well as the experiences available to visitors, are to be thanked for the country winning the gold award at the event. Mohsin bin Khamis Al Balushi, the commissioner general of the Oman pavilion at Expo 2020, said while receiving the award: "We are proud of what has been achieved while participating at the expo, and today we reap the result of the efforts of the Omani youth who participated in creating the pavilion's concept and content with creativity and professionalism." Oman won the gold award for theme interpretation at Expo 2020, which was held in Dubai in the neighbouring United Arab Emirates from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022. The country's pavilion was built in the shape of a burner of frankincense, a resin found almost exclusively in Oman that was shipped all over the ancient world and immensely shaped its history and culture. The pavilion also showcased future investment, diversification and business opportunities available, encouraging those from other countries to set up operations in Oman.
