“The promotion of investment notably from the United Arab Emirates and other Middle East nations, there was a lot of interest during the exhibition Expo 2020 in which over 160 participated and South Sudan received more than other any other country,” he added.
He said President Kiir and his United Arab Emirate counterpart, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan, reviewed a variety of matters connected to bilateral ties between the two nations.
