6/2/25, 3:49 PM Ajman CP Visits UAE Pavilion At Expo Osaka | Pakistan Point
Upon arrival at the UAE Pavilion, H.H. was received Shihab Ahmed Al Faheem, Ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the UAE to Japan and Commissioner General of
the UAE Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai. He accompanied Sheikh Ammar on a tour to
explore the pavilion, which is themed “theme ‘Earth to Ether.”

The Pavilion blends tradition and innovation in both content and architecture. Inspired by
the UAE’s iconic date palm, the structure reinterprets traditional areesh architecture. At its core
stands a dramatic installation of 90 soaring palm rachis columns, reaching up to 16 metres in
height.
H.H. stressed that the UAE’s participation fosters cultural exchange and promotes its rich
heritage and values. He pointed out that the significant turnout at the pavilion—more than
250,000 visitors within two weeks—demonstrates the global appeal of the Emirati experience.

He also highlighted the longstanding, deeply rooted relationship between the UAE and Japan,
which spans more than 50 years of strategic partnership in energy, trade, education, culture,
space, and technology. H.H. affirmed that participation in Expo Osaka helps solidify cooperation
and friendship between the two nations and reflects the UAE’s sustained presence in global
exhibitions, building bridges of understanding across diverse cultures.

During his visit to the “Explorers of Space” platform, H.H. met with Dr. Sultan Al Neyadi, Minister
of State for Youth Affair and Emirati astronaut. The platform showcases the UAE’s achievements
in space exploration and its steadfast commitment to advancing collective progress,
empowering individuals through scientific research, innovation, and youth engagement.

At the conclusion of his visit, the Crown Prince of Ajman thanked the working teams and
volunteers supervising the pavilion and praised their efforts. He also expressed his appreciation
to H.H. Sheikha Maryam bint Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan for overseeing the pavilion’s
design.
