Dubai Police have broken the Guinness World Record for the largest online video chain of people passing the Expo 2020 Dubai pin.

The video chain features 265 people of different nationalities speaking various languages while passing the pin in the Al Forsan Park.

The record breaking event was witnessed by Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, and Commissioner-General of Expo 2020 Dubai.

The Dubai Police General Command and Expo 2020 Dubai received an official Guinness certificate in the presence of Reem bint Ibrahim Al Hashemy, Minister of State for International Cooperation and Director-General of the Expo 2020 Dubai Office, and other senior officials.

"The attempt is a cooperation between Dubai Police employees, university students, educational institutions and a number of Expo volunteers," said Lieutenant Colonel Dr. Mansour Al Balushi, Director of Scholarship and Recruitment at Dubai Police.
