ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the PM on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood on Thursday said that Pakistan Pavilion received 55,000 visitors in just the opening week of Dubai Expo-2020, making it one of the busiest pavilions of the mega event.

The pavilion’s first look is such a magnificent facade, established by Pakistan’s renowned visual artist Rashid Rana, that 20,000 people visited it over the weekend — Thursday-Friday-Saturday.
