"Our goal is to implement the Expo's theme of 'Connecting minds, creating the future' practically. We want our team to be familiar with creative ideas from all over the world."
The Dubai Crown Prince stressed that the government has established a unique work model, with creativity as its foundation.
"The aim is to reach the highest levels of excellence. This calls for reviewing successful experiences to inspire new ideas that will help achieve the ambitious goals set by the UAE as it prepares for the next 50 years," Sheikh Hamdan added.
