“I’m sure we can do it,” said Nasser explaining why the United Nations General Assembly has for the first time in history has decided to move the Global Goals Week out of New York and come to Expo 2020 Dubai next week.

“Expo is currently the world premiere event taking place in the middle of the pandemic with 10 million people already having come here… and world leaders are coming here. We thought that it is probably most appropriate for the first time the Global Goals week to be held outside of New York is to be held at Expo where 192 countries of the world have pavilions here and world leaders are coming.”
