KUALA LUMPUR, - Malaysia Pavilion today celebrates Malaysia Day by paying tribute to the nation’s achievements across key sectors including economic, social, cultural, science and technology, at the honour day accorded by Expo 2020 Dubai to participating countries.

It is also the 100-day milestone of Malaysia’s participation at Expo 2020 Dubai, which takes place from Oct 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) said in a statement.

The statement stated Deputy MOSTI Minister Datuk Ahmad Amzad Hashim had led a high-level delegation from Malaysia and was welcomed by United Arab Emirates Minister of State Ahmed Ali Al Sayegh.

"Expo 2020 Dubai, with the theme "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future”, has unlocked many new and exciting market opportunities for Malaysia to enhance trade, investment and cultural exchanges,’’ said Ahmad Amzad Hashim in a speech during the ceremony on behalf of MOSTI Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.

He said Expo 2020 Dubai has provided Malaysia with a unique opportunity to reinforce its position as the regional economic hub of Southeast Asia.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob previously said Malaysia had generated more than

US$8.03 billion (RM33.9 billion) potential trade and investment returns in the first eight weeks of participation at the Expo 2020 Dubai.
