DUBAI – Expo City Dubai warmly welcomed Miyako Miyako, the official mascot of Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai, to Al Wasl Plaza on Thursday, where Expo City mascots Rashid, Latifa and Opti presented the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) flag to signify friendship and cooperation between the two World Expo host cities.

Reflecting the strong relationship between the UAE and Japan, as well as shared interests in enhancing cultural exchange and innovation, Miyako Miyako’s visit was an opportunity to build awareness and excitement around Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai, which is themed ‘Designing a Future Society for Our Lives’ and opens on 13 April 2025.

The UAE Pavilion at the next World Expo will highlight the country’s progress in innovation and research and development across healthcare, space exploration and sustainable technologies.
