The Dubai Police General Command and the Dubai Municipality have unveiled a joint task force to implement Federal Law No. 22 of 2016 regulating the possession of dangerous animals.

The task force formation is aimed at maintaining a happy and sustainable city that embraces a healthy and safe environment free of animal transmitted diseases.

The Dubai Police and Municipality indicated that the joint work team has responded to many cases of violations during the past weeks, after receiving several complaints from the public.

They also called on the public to report violators who possess dangerous and wild animals and to hand them over to the Veterinary Services Department at the earliest.

The law prohibits every natural or legal person from owning, possessing, trading or breeding dangerous animals, state news agency WAM reported.

It also states that violators will be sentenced to imprisonment between one and six months and fined between AED10,000 and AED500,000 or to either of the said two penalties.

Saudi Arabia submitted its official registration dossier for World Expo 2030 Riyadh to the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), reaffirming its commitment and readiness to organize this global event.

The dossier was presented to BIE Secretary-General Dimitri Kerkentzes by Saudi Ambassador to France Fahad Al-Ruwaily, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Friday.

Submitting the official bid is one of the most crucial stages in the Kingdom’s preparations to host Expo 2030. It marks the beginning of the practical implementation of plans and the actual start of preparations for the global event, reflecting the Kingdom's seriousness in fulfilling its international obligations and its high organizational capabilities and large potential to host major global events.

This step follows the Kingdom's election as World Expo 2030 host country during the 173rd BIE general assembly in November 2023.

The submitted dossier includes a comprehensive plan covering all organizational, procedural, and operational aspects, including the operational timeline; legislative, regulatory, and financial procedures; the master plan for the exhibition site; international participation conditions; and plans to invest in the Expo’s legacy.

The registration file will undergo a review by the BIE and its member countries in preparation for its official approval by the general assembly. Once approved, the Kingdom will begin practical preparations and send official invitations for international participation through diplomatic channels.

Kerkentzes praised the quality of the submitted file, noting that it presents a comprehensive and clear vision for organizing Expo 2030 in Riyadh. He highlighted the Kingdom’s keenness and extensive efforts in preparing and cooperating with the bureau to ensure the success of the global event.
