Sayyid Theyazin to unveil Oman pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka
Muscat – H H Sayyid Theyazin bin Haitham al Said, Minister of Culture, Sports and Youth, will inaugurate the Sultanate of Oman's pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka on Sunday. The pavilion will host over 33 events between April 6 and October 13, marking Oman's latest international showcase.
Titled 'Extended Connections', the pavilion's concept is inspired by Oman's geographical and environmental diversity. It reflects the historical adaptation of the Omani people to their landscape through the interlinked elements of land, water, and people. The design was selected through the Belarab bin Haitham Award for Architectural Design. H H Sayyid Theyazin al Said-Osaka
Oman's participation in Expo 2025 is centred around six key themes: Communication and interaction, tourism, investment opportunities, cultural identity, international relations, and partnerships. These focus areas align with the country's long-term development strategies under Oman Vision 2040.
'Participation in Expo 2025 Osaka offers an important platform to promote cultural and technological exchange with other nations,' the organisers said. It aims to highlight Oman's economic and social development while preserving and promoting its cultural heritage.
The pavilion will offer visitors a highly interactive experience, incorporating extended reality and artificial intelligence tools across its content. A dedicated digital platform will include ten main features: The Visual Exhibition, Virtual Theatre, Audio Arts Exhibition, Made in Oman showcase, Discover Oman section, Omani Technology Companies Centre, Virtual Innovation Centre, SME Exhibition, Virtual Education Opportunities Exhibition, and a Humanitarian Diplomacy Portal.
