00:28I'm really, really, really glad that Dubai won this one.
00:32Dubai really deserves to win.
00:36I'm an economist and economy, as you know, is all about
00:40sentiment, sentiment driven. So I think this will have a massive
00:44boost again for Dubai to put Dubai real again in the
00:48center of the map. This is the first time to have Arabic country
00:52win with this very big exhibition like 2020 Expo.
00:56It's actually going to be a very good thing for me. I work
01:00in recruitment, so therefore there's going to be more activity happening,
01:04more jobs coming to Dubai. We're excited because this is a big
01:08transition for us and then for the whole Dubai. I never doubted that Dubai was actually going
01:13to win because I believe that Dubai, beyond
01:17the infrastructure, beyond the glamour, has been
01:21able to build a society where people from all over the world,
01:25from all religions and races can live in harmony. And that is what
01:29the world of the future is looking for.
01:33Economy is going to be great, more business is going to flow.
01:37Social life, you're going to have different nationalities, different culture and more
01:41number of people flowing in and out of the country. I think the entire overall
01:45it's going to be a positive influence over the UAE.
01:49Once Sao Paulo is eliminated, it is almost 100% sure.
01:53I'm so far Brazilian to say that Dubai
01:57definitely should have won, that's a big point.
02:01We're following it from moment to moment on Twitter. Twitter was blocked, but when we saw
02:05the first one going so well, the second one going so well, it was
02:09mathematics, it could not really go wrong, but you never know.
02:13From the start off, I had this feeling that it would go well for us.
02:17Dubai always won, only. Always won, number one.
