Dr. Ghazi Faisal Binzagr, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to Japan and Commissioner General of the Saudi Arabia Pavilion, said, “Welcoming over two million visitors to the Saudi Arabia Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka is both a proud milestone and a powerful reminder of the connections Saudi Arabia is building with Japan and the world. Our Pavilion is more than an exhibition- it is a living expression of our culture, transformation, and global impact for the future.” 

“It is in that shared future where conversations with national representatives from right across the world have been ignited here in Japan on how we can take the journey forward and reach new heights together at Expo 2030 Riyadh.”

Designed by Foster + Partners, the Saudi Arabia Pavilion offers a multi-sensory experience, showcasing Saudi Arabia’s rich heritage and culture and demonstrating the country’s goals of fostering sustainable and empowered societies.  The Pavilion has also been recognized for its innovation, style, and impact at the 2025 New York Architectural Design Awards by winning Gold under the “Cultural Architecture - Interactive and Experiential Spaces” category.
