Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, on Monday toured the Algeria pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.
Sheikh Mohammed, who was accompanied by Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed, Deputy Prime Minister, Finance Minister and Deputy Ruler of Dubai, was briefed on the country’s history and vision for the future, Dubai Media Office reported.
