One key outcome of the meeting was the Minister’s recommendation to reduce vendor participation from 1,000 to 400 to better manage space constraints at the event venue.

A courtesy call with the State Minister and other ministry officials has been scheduled, further solidifying a collaborative approach moving forward.
Additionally, the project team is set to present their detailed plan to the Ministry next week, marking a significant milestone for the Expo.
On the part of Rafindadi, he expressed excitement about the developments, saying, “This is a tremendous opportunity for us, and we must capitalize on it. The Ministry’commitment ensures that we are on track for a successful event.”
