Sheikh Mohammed visits Expo 2025 Osaka in Japan, tours UAE pavilion

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, visited the Expo 2025 Osaka in Japan on Friday.

Sheikh Mohammed toured the UAE pavilion at the exhibition.

Sheikh Mohammed said on X, “I was delighted today to visit Expo 2025 Osaka in Japan. I was even more delighted to visit the UAE Pavilion at the Expo.”

In a tweet on the X platform, Sheikh Mohammed said: “I admired the design of our national pavilion, which is inspired by the palm tree and is based on a new concept of ‘Al Areesh,’ the ancient houses built from palm fronds and trunks. The content of Al Areesh, however, speaks about our projects in space, our future initiatives in the health sector and our progress in sustainability projects. Our pavilion represents our commitment to the authenticity of the past and our passion for the future.”

“Many thanks to those in charge of the pavilion, particularly Sheikha Mariam Bint Mohamed Bin Zayed, who oversaw its design and development and, as usual, excelled in presenting it to the world,” he added.

Under the theme “Earth to Ether”, the UAE national pavilion tells the world the story of a nation that transcended the limits of dreams and transformed them into a lived reality. It's an inspiring narrative of deep-rooted cultural origins intertwined with lofty space ambitions, a profound commitment to sustainability, and future-oriented healthcare.

The UAE pavilion pulsates with a unique sensory experience, taking visitors on a journey through three captivating stations, where Emirati and global success stories are embodied, and the path of brilliant Emirati talents and international scientists who have left their mark in vital sectors is illuminated. From space explorers to healthcare pioneers and sustainability stewards, these leaders draw inspiration from their rich heritage to serve the future and make a real difference.
