00:00Well, thank you so much for having us here today to share with you the story of the Saudi Pavilion.

00:07The pavilion from outside and inside focus into four pillars. People, land, heritage,

00:16and opportunity. And this is what we are offering to the visitors. We want them to discover

00:21the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We want them to feel the story and join the journey.

00:28Since the moment that they're going to enter the pavilion, they're going to see the wonder of the

00:31lands that we have in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. And then they're going to be immersed

00:37into the ladder of the heritage. We're actually adding the six UNESCO sites that have been

00:45registered, and it's part of the Vision 2030 to include those heritage and preserve them as part

00:51of our identity. And then they will be introduced to the GEGA projects that are currently undergoing

00:58on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. And the latest part of their visitor within the building is the

01:05Vision. And the Vision is an artwork that we're inviting people to discover the color, the

01:12technology, the nature, and the people of the Kingdom through this artwork that was done by

01:17five Saudi artists. Honestly speaking, the Saudi pavilion is a window for everyone to explore

01:24the variety of the culture that we have in the Kingdom. As a matter of fact, the pavilion logo

01:29is full of color, and it represents the full cultures that we have within the Kingdom. We

01:34have 13 regions, and within the same region, we have different cultures. And this is what we want

01:39the visitor to go away with. We want them to discover the Kingdom. We want them to be curious

01:45and visit the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and enjoy that journey that we as Saudis and the young

01:52people that you're going to see around the pavilion are empowering that future. 70% of the

01:58Saudi pavilion programs are actually taking place outside the fence of the Saudi pavilion. Our

02:04programs varies from culture to family shows, to art, to literature. One of the shows that I invite

02:13everyone to come during the weekend is the variety show. That show will show how the Kingdom

02:19of Saudi Arabia is taking culture, but into a futuristic way. So we're inviting all shows that

02:26are actually happening all across the world to happen in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. So we're

02:31going to have a nice screen with a background of the cities and the technology and the beautiful

02:37scene and natures of the Kingdom. And we'll have multiple variety show within the Kingdom done by

02:42Saudi talent and merged with international talents as well. I would like to share the pride

02:50of myself as a Saudi and my colleagues who are working over here. The fact that we are sharing

02:56the story of the Kingdom, the fact that we're sharing our future and our past in this Expo 2020

03:03is a privilege by itself. I invite everyone to be part of this story.
