Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, speaking at Saturday's opening ceremony for the Osaka expo, expressed his hope that the event will help restore global unity in a world plagued by conflicts and trade wars.

Japanese leader hopes for global unity in divided world

“The world, having overcome the coronavirus pandemic, is now threatened by an array of divisions,” Ishiba said. “At a time like this, it is extremely meaningful that people from around the world gather here and discuss the theme of life and experience cutting-edge technology, diverse ideas and culture.”

Expo 2025 Osaka officially opens Sunday, with the theme of life, world and the future, and Japan hopes to bring unity and portray a future society.

But the event's celebrations have been somewhat dampened by U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent tariff threats, which add to global tension and uncertainty, with Russia’s war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East dragging on.

Echoes of 1969

As the nation once again finds itself in a season of political anticipation and renewed debate on leadership and governance, we find it timely to revisit a column we first wrote in June last year, “Titans of the House.” The memories it holds have grown even more vivid now, as we recall that on Nov. 11, 1969 — 56 years ago — we were first elected to public office as a young congressman from the then second district of Pangasinan. We were only 32 years old, full of youthful optimism, conviction, and the boundless belief that politics, at its best, could still be a noble calling.
