The China Pavilion of EXPO 2025 Osaka has welcomed over 350,000 visitors, according to the China Council for The Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT).
During a press conference held on Friday, CCPIT spokeswoman Zhao Ping briefed the press on the relevant information regarding the Osaka EXPO China Pavilion.
With a leading number of visitors, as well as nearly a hundred dignitaries and celebrities from various countries visiting the pavilion, the China Pavilion is by far one of the most popular national pavilions of the EXPO, said Zhao.
Since its opening, the China Pavilion has successfully hosted a series of regional events such as Sichuan, Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, and Hainan Weeks, and themed cultural events featuring Kunqu Opera, one of the oldest forms of Chinese opera, and the 24 solar terms of Traditional Chinese Calendar.
The events, covering cultural exhibitions, science and technology exchanges, and industrial cooperation, have been well received by audiences and participants, receiving wide appreciation.
"In the future, we will continue to guide other provinces, municipalities, and numerous Chinese enterprises and institutions to carry out diverse and rich exchange activities. We aim to showcase China's development practices and diverse aspects in the new era in a more comprehensive, thorough, and vivid way," said Zhao during the briefing.
