Malaysia secures RM8 bln to date at Expo 2025 Osaka
Fadillah (middle) rings the gong to officiate the launch of the Malaysia Pavilion at the Expo 2025 Osaka on Saturday. OSAKA (May 31): The Malaysia Pavilion has successfully secured more than RM8 billion in potential investments and 20 memoranda of understanding (MOUs) to date at the Expo 2025 Osaka, Japan. This is fast approaching the government's target of RM13 billion in potential trade and investments from this expo. Malaysia's participation vial its own pavilion, which runs from April to October, is supported by the participation from 21 federal ministries and around 70 government departments and agencies. According to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof, this achievement represents 61.54 per cent of Malaysia's target of RM13 billion within just two months of operations, signalling optimism for Malaysia. A total of 101 companies are involved in these investment deals of RM8 billion, with 398 business meetings held so far. 'From our target of 1.5 million visitors over the six-month duration of the Expo, we have surpassed the milestone of 1 million guests at the pavilion this week,' he added during the launch of the Malaysia Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka here on Saturday. Also present was Deputy Premier of Sarawak, Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan; Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry Liew Chin Tong; Ambassador of Malaysia to Japan, Datuk Shahril Effendi Abd Ghany; MITI Deputy Secretary General (Industry) Datuk Hanafi Sakri; and Malaysia Pavilion director Ellyza Mastura Amhad Hanipiah. Fadillah, who is also Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), underscored the Expo's role as a strategic and complementary platform not only to showcase Malaysia's capabilities, but also to highlight the collective efforts of the Asean region in shaping a future that is inclusive, equitable, and environmentally responsible. 'Our theme as Chair of Asean this year, 'Inclusivity and Sustainability' aligns seamlessly with Expo 2025's overarching theme, 'Designing Future Society for Our Lives',' he said. 'By being here, we are not only showcasing Malaysia's capabilities and ambitions but also engaging directly with the people of Japan and the wider international community. 'This global stage fosters mutual understanding, encourages meaningful dialogue, and opens new pathways for collaboration across shared areas of interest.' The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that Malaysia had previously participated in the Expo 1970 Osaka 55 years ago — a sign of the staunch camaraderie between Malaysia and Japan. 'From early collaborations in industrial development to contemporary partnerships in technology and education, the connections between our people and our nations are profound. 'The presence of numerous Malaysian students and professionals in Japan, and the reciprocal interest of Japanese in Malaysia's unique heritage, natural beauty and business opportunities, are proofs to this strong affinity.'
