His Excellency Shehab Al Fahim, Ambassador Extraordinary of the UAE to Japan, and Commissioner-General of the Pavilion, said on this occasion that the UAE Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka was not just an exhibition space, but rather a vibrant platform that brought together cultures and ideas, and embraced cross-border humanitarian dialogue.

Throughout the duration of Expo 2025 Osaka, the UAE Pavilion embodied the slogan “From Earth to Ether” through its distinctive architectural design and its interactive experience inspired by the symbolism of the palm tree in Emirati heritage. While visitors went through an immersive journey between inspiring stations, which included space exploration, innovation in health care, and sustainable technologies, in addition to live cultural performances, all of which showed how the UAE’s heritage inspires its path towards progress.

The exhibition hosted more than 150 participating countries, organizations and companies, who gathered to explore ways to build a sustainable, human-centered future.

At the heart of this global dialogue, the country’s pavilion formed a bridge between cultures, embodying how tradition and innovation can complement each other to inspire common progress and unite efforts towards creating collective solutions that pave the way for a prosperous future for all.

The conclusion of the pavilion’s activities today is a natural extension of this inspiring and successful journey, from earth to ether.
