The UAE has started construction on its pavilion for Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. A ground-breaking ceremony took place at the Expo 2025 Osaka site on Yumeshima island, state news agency Wam reported on Friday.
More than 150 countries and international organisations are expected to participate in the event, three years after the Emirates hosted Expo 2020 Dubai, which was delayed due to Covid-19.
The world's fair in Dubai registered 24 million visits, making it one of the most successful events hosted during the pandemic.
The ground-breaking ceremony was attended by Shihab Al Faheem, UAE ambassador to Japan, along with Expo 2025 organisers and other officials.
Expo 2025 starts in April on the man-made Yumeshima island in Osaka Bay, with the guiding theme of “designing future society for our lives”.
Organisers say the focus at Expo 2025 will be on addressing critical global challenges through its sub-themes: "saving lives", which emphasises protecting lives; "empowering lives", dedicated to expanding people’s potential; and "connecting lives", aimed at engaging everyone, building communities and enriching society.
