Floriade: The pavilion of the State of Qatar at the International Horticultural Exhibition Florida Expo 2022, held in the Kingdom of the Netherlands has attracted about 75,000 visitors since its opening on April 14.

The Qatari pavilion at the exhibition, which is organized by the Ministry of Municipality under the slogan "Nest of the Desert", is managed alternately by a number of young Qatari employees from the Ministry who have proven their success in managing the pavilion, within the framework of the Ministry's keenness to train and qualify them to participate in major events and exhibitions which it organizes or shares in.

The pavilion features many activities and events to familiarize the public with the most important Qatari customs, culture, and heritage, including the Qatari Cooking Day event, led by a Qatari female (chef), where Qatari folk food is presented with the aim of introducing the Dutch public to Qatari customs and traditions.

The Ministry of Municipality also organized a number of visits to the exhibition for senior officials in the ministry, as part of its keenness to inform its officials about such international exhibitions and to follow up on the latest experiences in the field of horticulture and gardens, prior to Qatar's hosting of the Expo 2023 Doha.(QNA)
