Luxembourg is investing ?32 million (Dh129 million) for the development of Expo 2020 pavilion, as the European nation looks to boost ties in a number of sectors.
Carlo Thelen, director-general at Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg, said work on the Expo 2020 pavilion - located in Opportunity District - is progressing well and the European country will showcase its culture, cuisines among others.
