The Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) stated on the 18th that a delegation led by President Kang Kyung-seong visited Osaka to check the preparation status for the World Expo in Osaka and Kansai, which will open on the 13th of next month.
The Osaka Expo will be held from the 13th of next month for six months under the theme "Designing a future society where life shines." The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and KOTRA will operate the Korean Pavilion, which consists of three exhibition halls, at the event held on Yumeshiba, an artificial island developed from landfill west of Osaka.
The Korean Pavilion is expected to showcase Korea's future technological capabilities and sustainable societal vision through artificial intelligence (AI), renewable energy, and future mobility. Currently, interior construction is underway ahead of its opening.
In particular, this year marks the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan, and various events are planned through the Korean Pavilion to expand cultural, economic, and industrial exchanges between the two countries.
Kang Kyung-seong, president of KOTRA, noted that "the Korean Pavilion will be a space to share Korea's leading technological capabilities and vision with the world," adding, "We will work to promote Korea-Japan cooperation and trade and investment through the Expo."
