Over six thousand people visited the Ukrainian pavilion at Expo 2025 in Japan on its first day – Tetiana Berezhna

The Ukrainian pavilion at the World Expo 2025 in Japan is attracting considerable attention from visitors. On its opening day alone, it welcomed over 6,000 people – far more than the average number of visitors.

Tetiana Berezhna, deputy minister of Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy, shared these figures during a briefing at the Media Center Ukraine.

“We know that the entire Expo is expected to attract 23 million visitors over six months. On the first day alone, we already had more than 6,000 visitors. If we extrapolate, we can make some projections – but many Expo staff have noticed that interest in our pavilion is significantly higher than the attention to the pavilions of other countries. So the calculations may need to be adjusted,” she explained.

Background: From April 13 to October 13, 2025, Ukraine will take part in Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. The theme of this year’s Expo 2025 is “Designing Future Society for Our Lives”.

The Ukrainian pavilion, titled “Not For Sale”, is designed as a store where nothing can be purchased. Instead of goods, it features 18 objects, each symbolizing a human value – freedom, dignity, resilience and more.
