Japan lauds Oman's pavilion design for Expo 2025 Osaka
OSAKA: Japanese officials have expressed strong admiration for the Sultanate of Oman’s pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, praising its striking design and thematic alignment with the Expo's core message, “Designing a Future Society for Our Lives.”
Ichino Keimatsu, Deputy Secretary-General of Expo 2025 Osaka, commended Oman’s focus on the elements of Water, Land, and People, which he described as fundamental to humanity’s future. He said the pavilion showcases Oman’s natural wealth and presents a compelling narrative of its cultural heritage, tourism potential, and economic opportunities.
“The Omani pavilion offers an excellent platform for Japanese visitors and the global audience to explore Oman’s unique identity and investment landscape,” Keimatsu noted. He added that Oman’s participation under the sub-theme Extended Ties reflects its openness to cross-cultural and economic partnerships.
Nishimura Yasutoshi, former Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, and President of the Oman-Japan Association, emphasized Oman’s strategic importance to Japan, both geographically and economically. “Oman plays a crucial role in promoting peace in the Middle East and serves as a reliable energy partner to Japan,” he said. The pavilion, he added, will allow Japanese businesses to deepen their understanding of Oman and explore investment prospects.
Yamada Kenji, former Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, echoed the sentiment, highlighting opportunities for bilateral collaboration across sectors including culture, tourism, trade, and energy. He stressed the importance of further cooperation in areas such as technology and human capital development, saying the pavilion will be instrumental in connecting Omani and Japanese companies.
From the media side, Yoshiyuki Nakahata of Kansai TV applauded the synergy between the Expo’s overarching theme and Oman’s pavilion. “Osaka is famously known as the City of Water in Japan, so it’s fitting that Oman’s pavilion emphasizes water as a central element,” he remarked.
The Sultanate of Oman’s participation in Expo 2025 Osaka is expected to serve as a bridge for deeper engagement between Oman and Japan, spotlighting the Sultanate’s cultural richness and its aspirations for economic diversification and international cooperation. — ONA
