His Highness Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, has visited the UAE Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.

Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed toured the pavilion’s exhibition, which features an innovative architectural design of 90 soaring palm rachis columns reaching up to 16 metres high.

Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed met with the pavilion’s team and commended the efforts of national talent in building bridges of cultural exchange with people and nations worldwide. The pavilion serves as a window to the world, highlighting the UAE's achievements while reflecting the nation’s deep pride in its heritage and cultural identity as it continues to pursue an ambitious future.

Sheikh Khaled Bin Mohamed affirmed that the return to Osaka for the expo, 55 years after the first participation in Expo 1970, carries profound symbolic and strategic importance, standing as a testament to more than five decades of close cooperation and strong strategic partnership between the UAE and Japan across diverse fields of mutual interest.

Inspired by the UAE's iconic date palm, the columns were crafted from more than 2 million palm fronds, highlighting the innovative reuse of natural materials. The UAE Pavilion, with the theme Earth to Ether, is an immersive, multisensory journey through the story of the UAE, from values and cultural heritage to pioneering innovations, including thematic zones showcasing the UAE’s journey in space exploration, advancements in healthcare and medical sciences, and the latest nature-based technologies.
