We have agreed most aspects with our partners, in particular the Marshal’s Offices, who are preparing exhibitions for the temporary exhibition zone in the Poland Pavilion.

On this day, we will combine a colourful presentation of Poland in the pavilion with spectacular cultural and interesting economic events, as well as with official celebrations and visits of State authorities at the highest level – says Adrian Malinowski, General Commissioner of the Polish Section of the World Exhibition Expo 2020 in Dubai.
