The opening ceremony of the World Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan took place on the afternoon of April 12, 2025. On the first day of EXPO 2025, ASEAN Secretary-General Mr. Kao Kim Hourn visited the Vietnam Pavilion, themed "A Centralized Inclusive Society."
The opening ceremony of the World Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan was attended by Emperor Naruhito, Empress Masako, Crown Prince Fumihito, and over 1,300 guests.
At the opening ceremony, students, including students with disabilities from schools in Osaka Prefecture, paraded with flags of participating countries and international organizations at EXPO 2025. Unique performances blending traditional Japanese arts like kabuki and taiko drums with contemporary art left a deep impression on the audience.
💕 Two "Vietnamese Dragon" products from Kymviet were honored to be selected to participate in the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan.
This is a great source of pride as these handicraft products, created by artisans with disabilities at Kymviet, are solemnly displayed in the Vietnam Pavilion – designed in the shape of the traditional conical hat, covering an area of 300m², full of cultural identity and future aspirations. The two dragon figures are not only symbols of wisdom and strength but also represent the resilience, creativity, and humanistic spirit of the Vietnamese people.
The Vietnam Pavilion serves as a focal point for convergence and dissemination of "proud stories about Vietnam" shared with international friends about a society built on good cultural values, centered around people, leveraging endogenous strength for sustainable development in an era of growth, aiming for harmony, equality, and leaving no one behind.
The World Expo is one of the three largest global events (along with the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games), attracting participation from most countries at the state level.
