The Tongan Pavilion at Dubai Expo 2020, a multi-million dollar facility built with assistance from the government of UAE, was officially handed over to Tonga's Ambassador ahead of the official opening of the world expo next week.

HE Hon. 'Akau'ola, the Commissioner General of the Tonga Expo team, received the keys, marking the completion of the construction, in a handover ceremony by the Expo Country Manager for Tonga, Mr Samer Mahmassani, on 16 September.

The first floor of the Tonga Pavilion offers a fully digitised, immersive experience leading visitors on a modern high-tech journey with mascots Lafi, a Tongan boy, and Lei, a humpback whale, around the Kingdom of Tonga.

“The adventure begins in the luscious forests of 'Eua islands, next through main island Tongatapu, onwards to the stunning beaches of Ha‘apai and ending at the picturesque islands of Vava‘u.” The aim is to shed light on the dangers of plastic waste to the ocean, its inhabitants and the subsequent challenges faced by the Pacific people emphasising ‘One Planet for All’ as the theme of Tonga Pavilion.

The second floor of the pavilion has fully equipped office spaces and conference rooms to host meetings to explore and advance investment opportunities for Tonga and its people.
