Minister of Foreign Affairs Oana Toiu celebrated the 500,000th visitor to the Romanian Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, live from Bucharest via videocall, with a symbolic award. The event marked a landmark, highlighting the attractiveness and relevance of Romania's message at Expo 2025 Osaka and confirming the success of Romania's participation in the largest international public diplomacy event of the year, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a release.
"The Romanian Pavilion is among the most appreciated at the Expo, counting to the Top 10 Pavilions. The concert of the 'George Enescu' Bucharest Philharmonic Orchestra was an important moment, especially in the light of the Enescu Festival taking place this fall, and the promotion of young Romanians contributed to the theme of 'societies of the future'. There isn't necessarily a conflict between tradition and innovation in the way we choose to represent Romania," the release notes.
The foreign minister and the Commissioner General of the Romanian Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, Ferdinand Nagy, took the opportunity to invite all visitors to discover Romania, to experience firsthand its scenic beauty and diversity.
Visitor No. 500,000, 27-year-old Aoi Moriyama, received a symbolic prize from the Romanian Pavilion team consisting of traditional items made by Romanian artisans, each piece carrying with it a part of the country's cultural heritage and identity.
The participation in Expo 2025 Osaka under the banner "Romania, Land of Tomorrow", within the 'Saving Lives' key sub-section marks Romania's 25th presence at a world exhibition.
Apart from artistic and creative moments, Romania is also present in Osaka with research and innovation projects such as ELI-NP - the most powerful laser in the world with applications in medicine and nuclear physics; the MAVIS artificial heart - a revolutionary solution developed by 38 students from the Iasi University of Medicine's Faculty of Medical Bioengineering and Medicine Faculty, intended for patients with severe heart failure; and the EU-funded intelligent neural system for bidirectional connection with mechatronic aid devices NerveRepack.
