Uganda to Showcase Innovation and Culture at Expo 2025 in Osaka

Kampala, Uganda. Uganda is set to mark its National Day at the prestigious Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, on October 8, with a grand celebration of Ugandan culture, innovation, and investment opportunities.

The country’s delegation, led by Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja, will present a full-day program that includes cultural performances, trade exhibitions, and high-level bilateral meetings. Uganda’s pavilion, themed “Sustainable Growth Through Innovation,” showcases achievements in agriculture, energy, tourism, and digital transformation.
