Dubai has created a "new city" for Expo 2020 that will exist for decades, the head of the event told AFP, promising that most of the vast site will remain in use after the six-month world fair.

The US$7bil (RM29.2bil), purpose-built showground occupies a vast site on Dubai's outskirts, with hundreds of pavilions and exhibitions sprawling across an area twice the size of Monaco.
