Qatar’s pavilion at Expo Astana 2017 attracted more than 300,000 visitors since it first opened on June 10 this year, to become one of the most popular venues among the participating countries.
A statement released yesterday by the Ministry of Economy and Commerce said that Qatar’s pavilion continues to hold a number of events and activities that reflect the Qatari heritage.
Several creative shows staged at the pavilion discuss the mega energy projects established in Qatar.
The statement said that the pavilion dedicated a day to the Expo’s volunteers, in honour of their efforts and co-operation with all participating countries and with visitors. The event saw several activities, including teaching the volunteers how to write their names in Arabic. Female volunteers got henna designs as well.
Deputy director of the volunteers department at the Expo attended the event, along with more than 400 volunteers who thanked the Qatari pavilion for the unique initiative in recognition of their contribution.
July 17 was chosen as the “golden day” of Qatar’s pavilion. A number of activities were held to promote the section among the visitors. As part of the activities on the day a number of Qatari and Kazakh songs were rendered.
Several programmes, including seminars and workshops related to future energy, are lined up for August and September.
