Oman's Osaka Expo pavilion inaugurated
Osaka, Japan – H H Sayyid Theyazin bin Haitham al Said, Minister of Culture, Sports and Youth, officially opened the Sultanate of Oman's pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka on Sunday, marking the country's participation under the theme 'Extended Connections'. H H Sayyid Theyazin poured water into a miniature model of the pavilion using an ornate vessel crafted during the Iron Age (1300 BCE–300 CE). The artefact was discovered in one of the chambers of the ancient wall of the city of Salut in Bahla. Adorned with intricate engravings and prominent fish motifs, the vessel reflects the cultural and creative dimensions of Omani civilisation at that time, marking the official opening of Oman's pavilion. The pavilion aims to highlight Oman's cultural legacy and its aspirations for the future in line with the goals of Oman Vision 2040. It focuses on three core themes – People, Land, and Water – reflecting the nation's connection to its environment, its identity, and its social values. H H Sayyid Theyazin said Oman's involvement at the Expo demonstrates its 'enduring commitment to engaging with the global community, building on shared cultural ties and promoting a dialogue worldwide.' 'Oman has always been a cultural bridge connecting different parts of the world, and our participation here highlights our role in fostering international understanding and cooperation.' The Expo, which will run until October 13, provides a platform for Oman to present its development strategy across six key areas: Communication and interaction, tourism, investment opportunities, cultural identity, international relations, and partnerships. These align with Oman's objectives to promote innovation, sustainability, and cross-cultural engagement. H H Sayyid Theyazin praised the efforts behind the creation of the pavilion and thanked those who contributed to its development, stating it 'reflects the sultanate's people and its land'. The pavilion features interactive exhibits that explore Oman's geography, cultural history, and tourism sector. It also serves as a platform to promote trade and investment, with Oman seeking to strengthen diplomatic and economic relations during the six-month global event. H E Sayyid Said Sultan al Busaidi, Undersecretary for Culture in the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth; and Commissioner-General of the Omani pavilion, said the display includes a collection of written works in Japanese introducing Oman's historical, cultural, economic, and commercial identity. H E Mohammed bin Said al Busaidi, Oman's Ambassador to Japan, said the Expo offers an important opportunity to deepen relations with Japan and highlight areas for economic cooperation.
