The organizers of the 2020 World Expo in Dubai announced the 192 participating countries, including Israel, which the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) said was invited by the United Arab Emirates.
“We have invited all countries of the world without exception, in line with our commitment to make Expo 2020 Dubai a truly international event and platform for all of humanity,” an official spokesman in Dubai said in a statement.
Expo 2020 Dubai will be “the most inclusive and international exhibition ever organized,” he said, recalling that for more than 170 years the World Expos are “apolitical” events.
