Expo 2020, an International Exhibition is currently happening in Dubai. India is also a participant in this global event showcasing her cultural, scientific and technological prowess and excellence, and Dazzling Maharashtra, the event, is a part of this effort to attract and encourage investment opportunities in the state. A series of meetings between Maharashtra Ministers and global investors are underway. Expo 2020 was actually arranged last year by Department of Cultural Affairs, Dubai, but on the challenging background of COVID 19 pandemic, it was postponed to this year. Since the global pandemic is on a decline, the event is taking place in a promising atmosphere and with great enthusiasm.
