New Delhi: Expo 2020 is the talk around the world. It represents an extraordinary opportunity for countries to engage with millions of people, creating a lasting impact on them. Promperu, with their pavilion at the expo, is showcasing biological and cultural diversity they have to offer.
Expo2020 Dubai
The origin of the World Expo dates to 1851, when the first edition of the event was held in London. These great universal exhibitions, held in different cities, seek to show the world the scientific and technological advances achieved by each nation, encourage cultural exchange and promote tourist attractions, exports and the image of each country.
Peru in Expo2020
The world-famous Q’eswachaka bridge – famed for being the only bridge in the world that for over 500 years is rebuilt annually by more than a thousand men and women in Peru – frames the main entrance to the Peru pavilion situated in the Mobility wing of the Expo Dubai 2020. Peru pavilion’s architectural design is dominated by curved lines that represent an infinite path constituting the origins of Peruvian history and identity. The pavilion’s facade presents a colorful textile with striped patterns and different icons that aims to highlight the bond that has existed for millennia between Peruvians and their textile tradition. The same icons will also guide the visitors once inside the pavilion on their journey of Peruvian history, its transcendence and present trade opportunities. Peru is a firm believer of the adage that states that the only way to look to the future is to keep the past alive. In one of the most important international events in the recent past – Expo2020 in Dubai – Peru showcases its millenary culture, its unique richness and ancestral wisdom.
Business at the Peru pavilion
Peru aims to promote its leading exports, such as superfoods, alpaca fibers and quinoa. It will also promote its tourism, investments and innovative initiatives in different spaces within the pavilion, allowing business-people to meet and develop potential business opportunities with their Peruvian counterparts.
Peruvian Gastronomy at Expo2020
The restaurant in the pavilion is also a benchmark of both gastronomy and food security. Its influence on the world is not only granted by our history, but also by the abundance of superfoods, which has crossed borders and nourished the world. Visitors will be able to relish iconic Peruvian dishes like ceviche, lomo saltado and tacu tacu, along with mouth-watering non-alcoholic drinks like chicha morada (made of purple corn) or the classic Pisco Sour. The pavilion will also offer culinary master classes with Peruvian chefs from various regions of the country throughout the six-month period.
So for anyone interested in diving deeper into the vibrant and mesmerising Peruvian culture, this is the best way to do it. Peru invites aspiring travellers, jet setters and curious businesspersons travelling from India to Dubai to take out some time to visit the Peru Pavilion.
