NMC efforts for organising UAE Pavilion at Expo Shanghai praised

Shanghai - May 9, 2010 (WAM)- UAE Ambassador to China Omar Al Bittar has appreciated diligent efforts made by the National Media Council (NMC) in organising the UAE Pavilion at Expo 2010 Shanghai. He said the Pavilion has been witnessing since the opening of the event on 1st May unprecedented turn out from visitors especially political, economic, cultural and media personalities from different countries of the world.
''The momentum of successes of our state comes as a translation of the vision of wise leadership and directives of President H.H. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, H.H. Gen. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, HH Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Foreign Minister and citizens of the UAE,'' the diplomat said in a cable sent to the NMC.
''The outstanding presence of our state in international gatherings mirrors its bright civilisational image,'' he added.
The pavilion is inspired by one of the country's most evocative natural landscapes, the precipitous sand-dunes of the UAE's legendary deserts. The building is a triumph of form and function, harmonising nature and architecture to create a fascinating structure that commands attention and reminds visitors of the Expo 2010 theme: ‘Better City, Better Life'.
President of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) Jean-Pierre Lafon has praised the UAE in organisation and management of specialised events.
He told WAM during his tour of the UAE Pavilion that the UAE had made substantial efforts in building modern cities and injected huge investment in sustainable technology. According to him, the UAE has become a world leader in delivering better life in future cities.
Prof. Gu Min, Deputy Executive Director of Expo Shanghai 2010 Commission, said the breathtaking design of the UAE Pavilion and its content had showcased the modernity the UAE is living through. He said the UAE had worked tirelessly to deliver better living standards to its people in a short span of time.
Deputy Director General of the NMC and Commissioner General of the UAE Pavilion Salem Al Ameri escorted the two guests during the tour of the Pavilion.
Al Ameri presented the two guests with a book about the UAE.
