 Hello and welcome to the Kuwait Pavilion, I am Mazen Lan-Sari, the Deputy Director of Kuwait Pavilion. We are looking at the external structure of the Kuwait Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. It resembles the huge sand dunes that are found in our natural environment. How big did the dunes get? Well, they get quite large, I mean some are hundreds of meters high or tall. But this particular one has the golden color and as you can see the camels walking across. This is really to symbolize how dry, hot and arid the natural environment in Kuwait and in the northwestern part of the Arabian Gulf is. Alright, so maybe we can go inside and in a few minutes there will be a concert also? Yes, we do have a musical band, the Al-Balouchi Band is going to be playing today. We are happy to have them as they tend to attract billion. And as you can see the golden color of the external façade. And as you can see it's like walking into an oasis where as you know the Kuwait Pavilion is situated in the sustainability area of Expo. Our key message at the Kuwait Pavilion is the importance of the source of water, the water resource. This is the source of life. The music we are hearing now is because of what you had. This is Kuwaiti cultural music and it welcomes the visitors to the Pavilion. As you see as we walk in the first thing that you see is this huge water tower and of course our Kuwaiti young ladies from the Ministry of Information welcoming our visitors. The first thing you see is the huge water tower that stretches all the way up through the three floors of the Kuwait Pavilion all the way to the roof. Now as I mentioned we are in the sustainability area so the water resource is the biggest message for us, the importance of water. It is the source of life. So these water towers resemble the water towers that we have in Kuwait in many parts of Kuwait and the cities of Kuwait. And this is where we store our emergency water. So we desalinate water, we pump water out from under the earth. The water table is quite high and so any surplus water is stored in these huge water towers for the time. This is a short movie, it's about three and a half minutes long. It signifies the past, the present and the future vision of Kuwait all through the eyes of this young eight year old girl. So what's the future vision of Kuwait? Well there are seven main pillars of our future vision. And basically we will talk about them later as we walk through the pavilion. But mainly they are enhancing, improving our infrastructure, diversifying our sources of income, finding alternative sources of energy, building more schools and hospitals to cope with the expanding population and others. So the video is all through the eyes of this young girl who represents the future generations of Kuwait. This is a very big display. Yes it is. Very big. Many projectors to do this. Absolutely. It's a 6K resolution, took us quite a bit of time to film this all in Kuwait. Special cameras and everything. Yes, absolutely. This is all filmed in Kuwait. How many people live in Kuwait? Right now the population is about 4 million of which 1.3 million are Kuwaiti. The rest are from all parts of the world. That's a lot of people, 4 million right? And how big is a lot of people close to each other? It is quite a large population for a small country which actually most people are concentrated living inside Kuwait city. So yes, it is a lot of people in one small area. It gets quite congested actually during the rush hour. So when you talk about diversifying the economy in the future, do you want to do everything from clean tech to tech, high tech to all kinds of stuff? Well, you know we have to go without strengths. So oil is now our main source of income. But we are very seriously looking into diversifying the sources of income through looking more and more into tourism and into foreign investments into Kuwait. So we have an entity called the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority or CADEPA. And they specialize in enticing companies and businessmen to come and invest in Kuwait. Open up shop in Kuwait. And they have very, let's say, incentives, very good incentives that encourage people to come and invest in Kuwait. Can you describe some of those incentives? Well, sure. I'm not a businessman but I can tell you a little bit. From my knowledge, I know that they help people invest by actually, first of all, letting them know what they need to do in terms of bureaucratic paperwork and others. They also help in finding a location for the business. But most importantly, the foreign investor can own 100% of the business. He doesn't need a partner. And from my understanding also there is 0% tax on profit for 10 years. But then there's a tax on building a house, right, and everything. No, no tax. We as Kuwaiti Nationals, up till now, we pay 0 tax on our income. The only tax that we pay is on foreign goods that are brought into Kuwait. And I believe it's either 4% or 5% tax, import tax. But what are the requirements to be able to go and live in Kuwait? Who can go there? Well, also to my knowledge, all the European countries don't need that. You can get your visa at the airport. I think there are 34 or 35 countries around the world that do not require a visa. So you get it at the airport and it's good for up to 3 months which you can renew. And here's another huge screen. Yes, absolutely. Now, if we look closely at the screen, this is a screen that is... The image of Kuwait City is from the Sheikh Jabr Bridge, the brand new Sheikh Jabr Bridge, which is also one of our future, let's say, vision plans. It's a bridge that links the north of Kuwait to Kuwait City, which used to take about an hour and 20 minutes. Now it only takes 20 minutes. It's going to be one of... It's going to be the fourth longest bridge in the world at almost 20 kilometers. It's confirmed, started to build. It's almost finished. There is still a section that's being built. All right. And if you can see, this is the marine environment. Our key message here is that this is our sea environment that we need to take care of. Well, make sure to keep our sea clean because it's a source of food, fish, and recreation to swim and to boat. So we need to keep it clean and take care of the environment. What do you do to keep it clean? What is your... We advise people to keep it clean. Yeah. Simple as that. Simple as that. Don't throw your trash. Don't throw rubbish into the sea. Don't pollute the sea. There are other messages also that are basically for everyone, even companies. Don't put your trash in the sea. Always find ecological, friendly environment ways of getting rid of your trash. I guess there are many other potential initiatives that could be taken in terms of actually going out there and cleaning it up. We do have an environmental agency that specializes in this. There are punishments. There is advice. But to me personally, I think the main advice is the one that kids receive at home. The parents, they need to educate their kids from when they're young. Can we look at the world now? Yes, absolutely. Now here is the timeline of the history of the general area of Kuwait on the map of the world. This area, and since we are talking about sustainability, we have artifacts and relics, historical relics that date back to thousands and thousands of years. These actually, what you see here, date back to the Neolithic era, which is almost more than 7,000 years ago. Actually 5,750 years before Christ. We will later see identical copies of these relics. We are showcasing them here at the pavilion. But as you see, then we move on to the Bronze Age, to the Hellenistic discoveries. Alexander the Great's fleet gave the name Icarus to one of our islands, which we call now Faelica. These are all interesting. What are they doing? Alexander the Great. You know, I wish I knew, but they found a safe haven. This is another key message of sustainability. All these people have been able to survive in this hot and dry area where water is rare. It's hard to find. You have to dig underground or you have to desalinate. But people have lived on it even 7,000 years ago. Now you desalinate a lot, right? Yes, we do. We have two main desalination plants, but we also have water wells. So the water table is quite high. But the main source of course is desalination. What I'm hoping to hear is that the desalination systems are very efficient. Power hungry. I guess it's power hungry, but does it get more and more efficient with time? New technology makes it better and better. Well, this is the challenge, right? So the challenge is to find renewable energies, use the solar power as a source of energy. And we are doing this through the Shagaya complex in Kuwait. It's part of our short movie downstairs, actually. But yes, we are working on this with a plan to achieve about 15% of our energy needs, electrical needs from renewable energy, including the sun. How soon can this happen? About 2030. 2030? Absolutely. So here are some of the relics we talked about. These arrowheads that have been found in the northern part of Kuwait. Slovenia area. Now these date back to 7,000, more than 7,000 years ago. And these actually prove that the area where Kuwait is situated now is sustainable for life. People have lived even 7,000 years ago. And these are different parts of the timeline that we talked about earlier. This is the Delman area. This is a statue of a king from when the Greeks were on Icarus Island. They called it Icarus back then. We call it the island of Phelaka. And they're actually still digging up new artifacts on a daily basis. Here is a rock. Let's go close to it. If we can look at, this is a rock that was found on Phelaka Island also. Of course, this is not the original. This is an identical copy. And it shows the inscriptions, the letters that were used by the Greeks back then. So it's ancient Greek? Ancient Greek relics, yes. Found on the island, the Kuwaiti island of Phelaka. There are museums in Kuwait? Yes, we do. And we have the rest of the relics and other very interesting artifacts. Absolutely, we do. Now, when we first were planning the story of the Kuwait Pavilion, COVID was a challenge, COVID-19, the pandemic. And so we had to incorporate no-touch technology into our pavilion. And we have done so by showcasing the seven pillars of our vision 2035 that I talked about through a no-touch screen that we can watch right here. Now, this is an interactive IR. Exactly, there is a screen up there, the black screen. And the main screen showcases the seven pillars of Kuwait's future vision. We are in the English language right now. So I will select one of the key messages. It takes three seconds. Once three seconds go by, then the icon that we just clicked comes up on top. We can do it again for you to see. So one second. Let's do another. This is a creative human capital. One of the icons will come up on top. So these are the seven pillars of Kuwait's new vision 2035. Oh, yeah. We need to get in detail on those pillars you're talking about. And there's all the way around these touch-free. Absolutely. How do you develop those? As you said, IR technology, I'd have to ask the experts on this technology. But here we're looking at the timeline of the discovery of oil. Now, this is an important section. Kuwait first discovered oil back in 1913. This is prior to World War I. But because of World War I and World War II, the first shipment of Kuwaiti crude did not go out until 1946. So the first crude shipment was shipped in 1946. Then from 1946 until 2021 is the timeline where all these different companies were established during the years that have to do with the oil industry. But again, the key message here is that oil is a finite commodity. One day it's going to finish. So we need to find alternative sources of income, diversifying the sources of income for Kuwait, which we discussed a little bit through our Kuwait new vision 2035. So it's like the founders of your country, that rule the country for many years. Yes. From Boison back in the timeline dating back to 1781. And every time I go to a gas station that's called Q8, is that from Kuwait? That's owned by Kuwait, yes. All right. There's one next to my home in Denmark. So all over the world, all over Europe, everybody is using oil? Well, over the last 50 years. We love to have customers all over the world. Absolutely. But we are also working very hard at finding alternative sources of income as I mentioned, through tourism, industry, and through foreign investments in Kuwait. Maybe there are ways to use petroleum. Like it's used for plastics. It's used for building airplanes, for building cars and everything. So it doesn't have to be only for burning it up. Absolutely. And it's showcased through the number of companies, some of them that have to do with producing plastic and having other uses for the oil resource. That will continue, even if everybody drives electric cars. Yes, but if oil finishes, then it's finished, right? Yeah. Then you really need to find another source. So how many electric cars are there in Kuwait? How many? Electric cars. You know, I'm surprised, but I cannot tell you the number, but it is something that we are seeing more and more of them in Kuwait City. You know, it's a small city, so electric cars make sense, because you don't have to drive very long. Yeah. You know, what you're seeing here is the symbolic first oil shipment by Sheikh Ahmed Al-Jaber, Mahessor Rustin Pease, back in 1946. This is the first, the symbolic turning of the wheel, the first oil shipment of crude, and I think it was shipped to UK, United Kingdom. There's been partnerships going on with the UK. Yes, absolutely, yes. And with the US? The US later on, I'm sure, but the UK was our number one partner back then. In fact, our independence was from UK Protectorate back in 1961, and most of the technical efforts were by British teams, British oil teams. Give me from this way, sorry. Again, here we walk through the symbolic water tower. We remind people of the importance of the water resource. It's the source of life. Yes. Now, we are approaching another key message here, another key area of our pavilion, which showcases the natural desert environment and the animals that have been able to find life in our part of the world, such as hyena, the desert owl, the monitor lizard, the quail, the eagle, the kestrel, even the rabbits, the hare. These are desert rabbits, the owl again, the wild African cat, ducks, and the pink flamingo of all birds is a migratory bird. This is an area where we try to highlight how important it is to take care of this environment. Many of these animals are becoming extinct, such as the hyena, the desert hyena. It doesn't exist anymore in Quate. So we need to educate children and people to take care of the environment, to take care of these animals, not to hunt them, leave them alone. They have found peaceful life for thousands and thousands of years, and so we need to keep that. We need to keep them safe and stop extinction of animals. So that's great that you do that in Quate, but do you also work with all the other countries so everybody gets on board to protect the animals and save the planet? Absolutely. Our environmental agency is a local Quate agency, but it also interacts and cooperates with other world agencies in helping with exactly what you just said. Public awareness is important. In Africa it needs some help. All these countries, they shouldn't be killing all the animals, right? Absolutely. I agree with you. Especially the beautiful birds. The bird for me personally is the most important symbol of sustainability. Why? Because the bird is a weak animal. If it loses a wing, if it breaks its wing, it will die. It could die. So to have more than 300 species of birds in our part of the world just shows you how sustainable this area of the world really is. And all these animals, they all know where to find the water. All at one time. They have to know where the water is. Otherwise they wouldn't be alive. They know where to find the water. That's another message. When you see, let's say you're walking in the desert and it's very hot and you're dying of thirst, you want water. And then all of a sudden you see a bird. Immediately you know, there must be water around because the bird is alive. Follow the bird, maybe. Follow the bird and you will find the water. Absolutely. And that's why the Oasis sometimes they're abundant, they're around and the birds know exactly where they are. So you follow them and you'll get to water. Is there any chance you can desalinate the whole part of the ocean and just like pump it all over the desert? When I walk around Dubai, I'm just amazed to see all these green everywhere. And it takes time. It will happen. The sun is a challenge. It really is. In Kuwait we get temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius. And that's in the shade. So it's a big challenge. But it's being done slowly and gradually. And what you just said is a dream. I hope that dream becomes true at some time. Alright. Maybe cultivate this powerful sun that you have in the sky to desalinate all the seawater and just put it all over the desert, right? This connection. You know, three quarters of the earth is sea. So there's a lot of water to go around. And the desalination plants right now are the key to our survival. We need water. It's the source of life. I mean, without water nobody can survive. So we need to have it. But luckily it's also found at a shallow depth. You don't have to dig very deep on our part of the world for some reason. So we are kind of lucky in that way. But yes, I agree with you. Water is a very important resource. We need to make sure that we have sustainable supply of water for the expanding population of Kuwaiti nationals. And expats as well. How much solar power do you have? Because it is right there. You should just use a lot of it, right? Absolutely. I was talking to you about the Shagaya power complex. It's something that's new. It's a new technology. And we are hoping to achieve step by step to reach 15% of electric power generation from the Shagaya complex by the year 2030. But by then I think we will have enough technology to speed up the process, to speed up the reliance on renewable energies as the oil supply depletes slowly and gradually. It would make sense that if you are an all-rich country that you can invest that oil richness in renewable technologies, right? That's exactly what we are doing. Development and mass production, not just only for using in Kuwait, but everywhere. I think we are going at a good pace. Again, this is my opinion. I think we are going at a good pace. But I think Kuwait is taking this issue very, very seriously. And they're doing their best. The oil supply is still abundant. We have almost 100 years of oil reserves still. But I think, what's your head? This is a low screen. This screen here showcases our sea environment, the natural sea environment, the fish. And on the right side, the birds, which I mentioned, the more than 300 species of birds. Okay, so yes, we move to another section, which is the media section. Here we highlight the richness of our culture through television series, plays, comedies, musicals, movies, and the operets at the schools, where the children take parts in dances and cultural music. Yes, this screen right here. And also, of course, let's not forget the fine arts, our artists. Do they support the artists to improve their skills and become... Yes, they do. We have an entity called the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters. It's an important entity which, as you mentioned, supports and helps artists grow their skills. What's happening here on this table? This is the data bank. So as the COVID-19 situation started to ease a little bit, we have found it possible to put a data bank. This data bank includes different entities, government and semi-governmental entities, and it's an area where people can read. If they want to know more knowledge about something in Kuwait, let's say the Kuwaiti constitution, we have it here. Let's say Kadipa, we mentioned Kadipa. We have more information about Kadipa here. We have the Red Cross. We have other entities that people can point these pieces, almost like a chess piece, and they can produce more knowledge to read about. For example, let's look at this one here. This is what we mentioned. The Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority. So I want to know more knowledge about this entity. I go to the English language, and then I can either watch a video or a PDF file. Let's go to the PDF file. This is Kadipa. Then we have nine pages that we can read more about Kadipa. It's the Direct Investment Promotion Authority, and business people can read more about it. Actually at the end there is what you call the, I believe it's called the barcode, where you can scan your phone and you get more knowledge and more material to read. There are small displays in there? Yes. Artistic? These are some of the main structures in Kuwait. These are the three towers, the symbolic towers of Kuwait. Children playing. This is Al Hamra Tower, which is the tallest building in Kuwait. This is where my office is, by the way, on the ninth floor. How high is this building? It's 440 meters tall. Are there also plans for other big ones? Oh, I'm sure. Time will tell, but I'm sure. Can you go to the top and have a view? Absolutely, yes. I believe it's 77th floor. It's an amazing view. This is the tower. This is the bridge we talked about, Sheikh Jabir Bridge, which will be about 50 kilometers long when it's finished. The oasis? The oasis and the animals, the camels. This is our national assembly, by the way, which I'm going to be discussing with you in a bit. It's about showcases our democracy. This is where the democratic practice takes place. So here, this is actually the constitution of Kuwait. It was written back in 1961. So during the reign of Sheikh Abdullah Salim, Mehassur Rasim Peace, this is our Sheikh, the emir of Kuwait back then, who established the Kuwaiti constitution. Immediately after that, in 1962, was when our first parliamentary elections took place. Of course, back then, you were voting only for men, and only men can vote. But in 2005, by emiri decree, an amendment was made to the constitution to allow women to vote and to run for parliament. So here is where we talk on this video here. We talk about empowering women and showcase how important women today are in Kuwaiti society. We have women ministers, women ambassadors, judges, and now even joining the military, the army and the military. And the athletes? Absolutely. If you want to continue looking at the video behind us, you will see that Kuwaiti women are involved in all sectors of society and of course, including in athletics. So how much power does the parliament have? The parliament is made up of 50 parliamentarians that are voted for by the National Assembly. They are the legislative force, so they write the laws. But the laws have to be approved through a meeting between the parliamentarians and the cabinet, the ministers. The head of state signs the law, right? The head of state is the final signatory, correct. But it's the parliament, the cabinet, the cabinet of ministers working with the members of parliament in legislating and the cabinet executing the laws. And I guess this very smart people advising all these parliamentarians and the heads of state to get the right laws enacted and stuff and maybe progressive laws in some instances. Yes, so these laws basically run the whole country. Nobody is above the law. Our constitution is very clear. Nobody is above the law. And if anyone is found to be breaking the law, he is punished equally. There are laws that govern every sector of society. So the next segment, the next section, we will showcase some of the old cultural musical instruments that are utilized in Kuwait. So here the Rababa, which very much resembles the violin, if you approach it, there is a sensor below near my knee and if you get closer, you can hear the music. Maybe this microphone is sensitive enough to hear the music. But you get your ear close and your knee to the sensor and the music will start to play. So if we go to the Samri, healthy instrument, this is I think more of a drum. It's a bit of a drum. It's like a musical secrets area. See, this is the sea instruments that they played on the boats. Okay, so now we get to our final segment, or almost final. This is the area where we showcase Kuwait's humanitarian work. On the left side, you can see the picture of His Highness the Emir with the UN Secretary, His Highness the Emir, Sheikh Subah, who passed away a few months ago, with Mr. Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary General. This photo was taken in 2014 in New York. Mr. Ban Ki-moon awarded His Highness Sheikh Subah with this award, which signifies or which gives him the title of leader of humanitarian work. Sheikh Subah as the leader of humanitarian work. Can you describe some of the humanitarian activities that have been going on? Absolutely. If you look at the video behind us, this showcases some of the countries that have received help from Kuwait during natural disasters, during wars, during catastrophes, but what's most interesting is that we try to help in a way that helps these countries achieve sustainability. So if bridges collapse, we help with rebuilding the bridges. If a hospital is needed, we help in rebuilding or building new hospitals or building schools. All these help the countries in need to achieve sustainability for their own people. There are populations in urgent need for food, for example. Yes. And hopefully the world comes together and helps them out in the right way and brings the food, because as far as I understand, we produce enough food for everybody in the world, but somehow there's people starving. Yes. Kuwait doesn't produce a lot of food. We have enough to supply our people, but because of the oil we are able to be generous to countries that need help. Yes. So we can purchase food, we can purchase medical equipment, we can purchase, let's say, trucks, ambulances, whatever is needed to help these countries achieve sustainability. One would hope in 2030, 2040 at some point, for one, there wouldn't be any more conflicts. There wouldn't be any conflicts in the world. There shouldn't be any more conflicts. And number two is smart use of our resources, right? Absolutely, yes. The people can afford to help, but also that nobody needs to be so poor anymore in the world. Well, this is one thing that we talked about earlier, to find the technologies to produce more resources for people such as, as you said, food. This is, of course, for us, water supply is most important. We import a lot of our food, but water is our crucial challenge, let's say. So this is what we are trying to maintain sustainability of, the water supply. But yes, for the rest of the world, I think food is a key issue. I agree. And also the whole world has water problems everywhere. And all the lessons you learn, you can maybe also help out all the other countries get their water supply in order. Kuwait has never failed to help countries in need. And this is proven through the designation of His Highness the Emir as leader of humanitarian work, and Kuwait as a country that is leading in humanitarian work and help as well. All right. If you don't mind, maybe we can walk out, because I think you have a roof. We have a roof. Ah, you have a roof. Oh, yeah. Let's go. Okay. If you don't mind walking up there, it's a long walk. So we have Kuwait Airways is one of our sponsors. How is it going with Kuwait Airways? How many airplanes do they have? I believe they're doing well. I've heard they made a profit the last few months since the COVID pandemic. So this is a good signal. I think they're also expanding their trips to Dubai. Currently, I think have only two per day. They're going to upgrade to four, if not more, but also they're adding more airplanes to their fleet. Of course, it's not my specialty, but this is the news we've heard from the sponsors when they visited us recently. Here we have reached to the third floor, the rooftop terrace, which has a coffee shop, a stage for musical concerts, or other types of competitions, such as we had a coffee competition and soon in December, on December 17th of this year, during the third month of expo, we're going to have an international champions chess match, a chess match of previous former world champions. The guy from Norway? I believe Kasparov. I don't know the names of all. Kasparov is coming. This is what I heard. Kasparov will be here. Magnus? What's your step? No, Magnus, no. But Kramnik, Kramnik, Duda, those are some of the names that I know because they're the most famous. But let's see. We're awaiting this. And then also we have, yes, the beautiful view of expo. We have a full moon today. So hopefully this will bring us good luck. So you can see the wasseldome in the background. This is an amazing structure. I think the UAE have done an amazing job with expo this time around, 2020 expo. We can see in the background over there, where the green lights are, is the Saudi Arabian pavilion behind it with the huge lights that are stretching to the sky. Is the Chinese pavilion to our right. Is the German pavilion behind it. The rocket is the US pavilion. And in front of us are neighbors, the women's pavilion. Can you say a few words about Kuwait's partnership with these countries, like Saudi Arabia and all the region and the region around here. I guess you have political meetings and getting like agreeing with each other. First of all, we are very proud to take part in this expo being the first ever expo to be held in an Arab and GCC country. So it's crucial for us to play a part in making it the biggest success possible. Also, we have all six GCC countries participating. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman and the UAE and us of course Kuwait. Plus, there is the GCC pavilion which was supported by all six states. They pitched in and they developed this GCC pavilion which basically showcases what the GCC as an entity is doing for their part. I think they may be in the mobility area. So the GCC, seven pavilions are GCC related. And the GCC is getting stronger every year or getting like doing bigger and bigger work around the world. All you have to do is look at each country. Saudi Arabia has expanded its tourism sector, has done enormous work towards tourism by developing parts of the Red Sea and their mountain ranges and so on. The UAE is, you know, needless to say they've had the best experience with tourism. It's a world destination. You just say Dubai, everybody knows where Dubai is. And they have the Emirates doing a big job and they are getting all the stuff over. It's not just that. I'm going to stop over. It's sports, it's horse racing, it's golf. You name it. Business. Formula one? Yes, Formula one. So they've done an amazing job and I think it is a good time to learn the lessons that we need to learn from their lessons, from their experience. But the structure that you see all these pavilions that you see around us, it's honestly an amazing accomplishment. Huge success for UAE. God bless them. They've done an amazing job making Expo as accommodating and friendly environment for the visitors. It's easy to come here. You can come by the train. You can come by car. The road network that they've developed, the metro reaches right to the front door of Expo. So it's very convenient to come. Is there a shortcut to the concert or the same way we came in? No, there is. I'd like to film a little bit of the concert at the end of this video. It's right here. This is the stage where we... Actually the championship, the chess championship I talked to about has to take place in a quiet room. But here will be where people will be watching. So we'll have monitors here, TV monitors for people to watch. People will be sitting down here and will be watching the chess championship over here. It'll be live coverage, of course. December 17th. December 17th to the 23rd. Oh my God. 2021. So people should come here just before Christmas, right? Yeah, my brother wants to come. No, we can go this way because there is a key message here. Yeah. I want you to see. So here it says exit, but also a key message, which is please read it for us if you can. See you in Osaka, Japan. Expo 2025. Kuwait has already signed and approved to take part in the Expo 2025. This pavilion is amazing. Thank you. We're going to go away, right? The Expo is finished. Well, it's in negotiations. According to the first agreement was that this pavilion will be disassembled and 70% of it will be recycled, reused. But now it could be kept. It's still not a definite decision, but we will know within the next two months. It's a little bit like the Eiffel Tower. Yes, now we go down. Another maybe parting comment that I'd like to make is that we are happy to have signed with Osaka. We are proud to have signed to take part in the Osaka 2025 Expo. But also we heard that Saudi Arabia made a bid to host the 2030 Expo in Riyadh. So this is something that we look forward to and of course we will support this way. So we're still going down the escalators because we were on the third floor. This is the first floor. We go now to the Mizanin and then to the ground floor. And did you bring your passport, your Expo passport with you? No, I only have my passport. Expo has a special yellow passport for visitors that people like to stamp to show which country pavilions they visited. So I will show you where the stamp takes place. It's right here to our right. Let's have a look at the stamp. Yes, let's look. We will have to wait for somebody who has a passport to have it stamped. What does the stamp look like? It's right here. So the stamp is similar to our badge which I'm happy to give you a copy of as a gift. Right. This is a person who is getting his passport stamped right here. Let's check it out. Let's see the stamp. And this is the... Oh, there. Oh, wow. It's gold color. What is it? It's a pin. It's a pin. It says Kuwait Expo 2020 and it also has the map of Kuwait. And let's have a look at the concert that's ongoing. Yes, today we have the Albulushi musical band. They're playing Kuwaiti music which is quite popular in the GCC. But also we find that many visitors find this music as interesting and good to listen to and they will clap and dance along with it. Okay. This way to... This way around. This way. So this is Kuwaiti music. Of course, each of the GCC countries is proud to showcase their own type of music. But in my opinion, the music is quite similar. There are some differences. Of course, you know, as you know, the music or the voice is from God. It's an internal talent. So whoever has a good voice who knows how to sing obviously becomes successful. So we have one of our musicians from the Albulushi band showing off his talent. And here we have the people. So can you give the song for me away? Sure. Come, come. Go ahead. So these are some of the music instruments. We have the organ, the violin.
