Expo 2020 Dubai expected to be delayed by up to a year: sources
An estimated 11 million overseas visitors were expected to attend the nearly six-month-long showpiece of culture, business and technology featuring pavilions from 192 countries that was due to start in October.
Participations had asked for the delay, citing a need to focus on the coronavirus outbreak, the statement and two of the sources said. An Expo spokesman declined to comment. Expo is the last major international event that is still officially scheduled to go ahead this year. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics were last week postponed by a year, the first such delay in the 124-year history of the modern Games.
