According to Amac News, Ishige, in an interview with the UAE state news agency WAM, highlighted the organization of Expo 2020 Dubai and stressed the importance of lessons learned from Dubai’s experience at various levels.
He also appreciated the participation of the UAE, which hosted Expo 2020, and Saudi Arabia, which will host Expo 2030, in Expo 2025 Osaka.
Expo 2025 Osaka will be held on the artificial island of Yumeshima for six months from April 13 to October 13, 2025, under the theme “Designing a Future Society for Our Lives.”
The Secretary-General of Expo 2025 Osaka also revealed that Expo 2025 Osaka will feature the world’s largest wooden structure, the “Grand Ring,” which will create a two-kilometer-long perimeter around the pavilions.
The event will also host more than 150 national and special days that will allow visitors to explore the history of participating countries and experience a world tour without the need for a passport.
Ishige noted that so far, 158 countries and regions, plus nine international organizations, have confirmed their participation in the exhibition. He added that more than 50,000 volunteers, mostly young people, have registered to help organize the event.
He also emphasized that the number of Arab countries participating in Expo 2025 Osaka has increased to 11 from seven at the previous Expo in Japan in 1970.
Ishige described world expos as an opportunity for countries to enhance their economic diplomacy, citing as an example the Expo 2020 Dubai, which attracted the attention of French President Emmanuel Macron and 81 world leaders.
