Đurić: Serbia’s participation at Expo in Osaka extremely significant for its promotion in the international community

“The atmosphere here in Osaka is incredible, and it is clear that the Expo is much more than just an exhibition. The whole world is presenting itself here in the best possible light, and I am proud that Serbia has succeeded in making its pavilion at the Expo in Osaka one of the most visited, with more than an impressive 700,000 visitors so far,” Minister Đurić emphasized.

According to the Minister, Serbia’s pavilion has also been officially recognized by the event organizers as the most cost-efficient.

“With this pavilion, we have managed not only to present our culture, philosophy, and history, but also to send a message that Serbia is a country of the future – the host of Expo 2027 – eager to welcome the millions of people who will come to learn even more about our culture. We also aspire to become a meeting place for entrepreneurs, thinkers, and all those who are tasked with solving humanity’s pressing challenges – from climate change and sustainability, to the arts, play, and culture, which is precisely the theme of our Expo – Play for Humanity,” the Minister underlined.

The Serbian Foreign Minister described Serbia’s participation in Expo Osaka as extremely successful and of great importance for promoting the country within the entire international community.

“I congratulate everyone who worked on this, because it represents a significant step in strengthening the image of our country in the world. Here at the Expo restaurant you can taste Serbian kebabs and Serbian drinks, but there is much more – our philosophy of life, science, art, and culture are all showcased, and I am truly glad for that,” Đurić stated.

Minister Đurić concluded his visit to Japan with the tour of the Serbian Pavilion in Osaka, assessing the visit as highly successful and as a step forward in Serbia–Japan relations, in anticipation of upcoming high-level visits.

“And bearing in mind that this month alone we held meetings in Washington with the U.S. Secretary of State, welcomed African and many other ministers in Belgrade, I would say that this August we have worked with full strength for Serbia – across all meridians,” Foreign Minister Marko Đurić said.
