Qatar has signed a contract to participate in the Expo 2017 in Astana, which will take place from June 10 to September 1, under the theme of future energy.
Qatar's Ambassador in Kazakhstan Ahmed bin Ali Abdulrahman Altamimi signed the contract on the Qatari side. The Ministry of Economy and Commerce released a statement yesterday from the committee charged with preparing for the Expo and said it has finished its preparation for the international event.
The committee was formed in December 2015 and has placed many plans and programmes for the event. It held a series of meetings with different authorities to discuss what should the Qatari section have during the event.
The Qatari section will be 457 square metre and will show a number of successful experiments in the energy and new energy fields. More than five million visitors are expected to visit the Expo this year.
