The State of Qatar’s participation in the Beijing international horticulture expo 2019 shows the world the importance of living in a green environment, said President of the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) Bernard Oosterom, adding that Qatar has become a green environment thanks to its efforts to realise this important environmental and agricultural goal.
Talking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Oosterom said the Qatari pavilion also reflects a civilized image of the innovative methods of all its components and sections of horticulture.
AIPH Secretary General Tim Briercliffe praised Qatar’s participation in the exhibition, stressing that the Qatar’s pavilion was distinctive and presented agricultural and horticultural exhibits that underline Qatar’s leading and outstanding experiences in this important field.
Briercliffe said that Qatar’s participation in the Beijing horticultural exhibition reflects its preparations to host the 2021 horticulture expo in Doha and that it paves the way for organising it in an exceptional way. Qatar’s achievements in the field of horticulture and what is displayed in its pavilion demonstrated its ability to implement horticulture in the desert environment, he said, noting that the Qatari pavilion is an important event for this exhibition.
He noted that many visited the Qatari pavilion at the Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition, adding it is an encouraging incentive to bring many exhibitors and visitors to Qatar in 2021, not only to see the experiences and achievements in the field of horticulture but to learn about the culture and ways of life of its people and achievements as well.
Expo 2019 is a global horticultural exposition and is being held in Yanqing District, Beijing, People’s Republic of China. The expo is being held on an area of 503 hectares.
Qatar and China signed an agreement for Qatar’s participation in the 2019 Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition in Beijing last year.
