The China Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka came alive on Friday with the launch of “Hainan Week,” celebrating the island province’s dedication to harmonizing natural preservation with modern development.
The event, themed “Pursuing Green Prosperity: Openness and Shared Growth,” aligns with the expo’s broader vision of “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” It showcases Hainan’s commitment to integrating nature, culture, and innovation.
“Our participation illustrates the seamless integration of nature, culture, and innovation,” said Li Qingshuang, deputy head of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and government representative for the China Pavilion. “We aim to elevate Hainan’s role as a global hub for sustainable development and open innovation.”
Chinese Consul General in Osaka Xue Jian highlighted the growing cooperation between the Chinese mainland and Japan. “Hainan’s partnerships with Japan in eco-friendly sectors such as green healthcare, modern agriculture, and the digital economy are expanding,” he said. “We invite the world to explore Hainan’s vibrant, inclusive vision for the future.”
Susaki Nobuhiko, president of the Japan China Economic Association, expressed optimism about future collaborations. “This event will inspire new opportunities for cross-border cooperation,” he noted.
Running until May 25, Hainan Week extends beyond Osaka to Tokyo and Hyōgo Prefecture. It will host investment forums and trade dialogues to promote the Hainan Free Trade Port as a nexus for eco-conscious innovation.
