Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Mauritius will vote for Saudi Arabia to host Expo 2030 because it believes the Kingdom has the best capabilities among the candidate nations, according to the Mauritian minister in charge of of foreign affairs, regional integration and international trade.<\/p>\n

Alan Ganoo, who is also the minister of land transport and light rail, told Arab News that the current hostilities between the other two candidates \u2014 Russia and Ukraine \u2014 plus the abilities the Kingdom demonstrated with its pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai were leading factors in the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you know, the decision will be made next year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNevertheless, we have been following the selection process and we have also been attentive to selecting the ideal candidate. We believe that such a global event should be made on the basis of certain principles, such as rotation and geography.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the pertinence of the event in spearheading and in promoting economics, trade, tourism and people-to-people exchanges, it is important to us that the state should have the means and the capacity to make the event unique rather than being a usual exposition.<\/p>\n

\u201d Ganoo said that he had been impressed by the Saudi Pavilion at Expo 2020 and that this had contributed heavily to his country\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cWe had a glimpse of what Saudi Arabia is capable of doing when we visited the Saudi Pavilion,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Following his visit to the pavilion, Ganoo conveyed his views in support of the Kingdom\u2019s Expo 2030 bid to his country\u2019s prime minister, Pravind Jugnauth, and his colleagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must also tell you that I\u2019ve exchanged views on the Saudi candidacy with Saudi Arabia\u2019s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel Al-Jubeir,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI informed him that Saudi Arabia has the best chance of all the candidates, especially if you consider the present world circumstances, such as the hostility between the two other candidates, Russia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Ganoo added that the Kingdom and Mauritius enjoy a close relationship and his country is exploring ways to increase the number of Saudi tourists after a decline in the number of visitors from Europe, which had been a major source of national revenue.<\/p>\n
