Mauritius Pavilion: The roots of the future


The Mauritius Pavilion at the Dubai Expo 2020 is one of the key initiatives of the Government of Mauritius to promote Trade, Investment, and Cultural Exchanges to the world. Our colleagues at EDB have spared no efforts to coordinate with other stakeholders such as the different Ministries, organisations and private stakeholder during these past months to ensure the success of the Mauritius pavilion at the expo 2020.
