Rescheduling

The organisers approached the BIE to move the opening to 2023, following a request to do so by the AIPH, and agreement from the government of Qatar.[4] The request was in recognition of challenges facing participating countries during the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

The BIE's executive committee agreed this rescheduling in principle, meaning that it could be put a vote at the next general assembly on 1 December 2020.[5]

At the general assembly it was agreed that the exposition be held between 2 October 2023 and 28 March 2024, and be called International Horticultural Expo 2023 Doha Qatar.[6]
