Covering 300 square meters, the Vietnam Pavilion served as a hub to spread “proud stories of Vietnam” through creative displays and modern exhibition design. The pavilion also hosted a series of major events, including the launch of Vietnam National Tourism Year – Hue 2025, celebrations of the 50th anniversary of national reunification, 135th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh, and the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day (September 2).
The Vietnam Pavilion welcomed Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long, Japanese leaders, and particularly Japanese Princess Tsuguko.
Nakano Toshiko, a member of the Osaka Prefectural Assembly, said, “When visiting the Vietnam Pavilion, my first impression was the deep affection Vietnam holds for Japan. I also learned about Hue, Vietnam’s ancient capital, and was struck by its similarities to Japan’s former capitals, Nara and Kyoto. I could feel the closeness and cultural affinity between our two nations.”
