“An international jury was called to select the best Pavilion at Expo 2020 and Pakistan got Silver Award for interior design out of 192 Pavilions. The response we received was overwhelming, & pavilion already crossed 1M [million] visitors mark which exceeded our expectations,” Dawood said in the post.

Last but not least our team in the Ministry of Commerce, TDAP, our embassy in UAE and Ambassador Afzal Mahmood without their dedication, it wouldn’t be possible to put on such a great show. Pakistan Zindabad! “
