Tokyo [Japan], March 8: Kuwait held a groundbreaking ceremony for its pavilion at World Expo 2025 in Osaka on Thursday, a major step in its participation in the upcoming event. The ceremony, held at the Expo site on the artificial island of Yumeshima, was attended by dignitaries from Kuwait and Japan, including Kuwait's Commissioner General for Expo 2025 Osaka Salem Al-Watyan, Kuwaiti Ambassador to Japan Sami Al-Zamanan and Supreme Council for Planning and Development Secretary-General Dr Khaled Mahdi.
"We celebrate the laying of the foundation stone to announce the actual implementation phase of Kuwait's pavilion at the Expo, which is the transition phase from theoretical planning to practical implementation," Watyan said. He added that as Kuwait lays the foundation stone for the Kuwait pavilion, "we look forward to completing everything we started in an effort to strengthen the close ties between Kuwait and Japan, as well as the rest of the world," as the Expo welcomes international visitors.
