Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar visited Expo 2025 in Japan on the occasion of Israel's National Day at the exhibition. The Minister held a meeting with the Expo management and was hosted at the exhibition by Japan's Deputy Foreign Minister, Matsumoto Hisashi.

Minister Saar also made statements to the media and hosted Lithuania's Minister of Economy and Innovation, Lukas Sabikas, at the Israeli pavilion.

The National Pavilion of Israel features at its center an original building stone that was part of a defensive tower built by the Hasmoneans in Jerusalem over 2,000 years ago. Biblical verses are projected onto the stone, while graphic images are projected onto the walls depicting how these verses and values have been transformed into innovative ideas and solutions.

The pavilion presents Israel as a powerhouse of innovation, along with its historical connection to the Land of Israel in general and Jerusalem in particular.

So far, about 270,000 visitors have visited the Israeli pavilion in the month since the opening of the Expo.

Expo 2025, a World Expo, is taking place in Osaka, Kansai, Japan, from April 13 to October 13, 2025. The theme is "Designing Future Society for Our Lives," with sub-themes focusing on Saving Lives, Empowering Lives, and Connecting Lives. (ANI/TPS)

Interesting to see Israel showcasing both its ancient history and modern innovations together. The concept of projecting biblical verses onto ancient stones while highlighting tech advancements is quite unique. Wonder if India could do something similar with our Vedas and IT sector at such expos.

Israel's pavilion sounds fascinating! The blend of history and innovation is something we Indians can appreciate, given our own rich heritage. Though I wish the article had more details about the actual innovations displayed. 270,000 visitors in a month is impressive! 🇮🇳🤝🇮🇱

While Israel's presentation is commendable, I hope our Indian pavilion at Expo 2025 gets equal attention. We have so much to showcase - from ancient wisdom to space technology. The government should ensure proper representation of India's diverse achievements.

The theme "Designing Future Society for Our Lives" is very relevant today. Israel's approach of connecting past and future is inspiring. Maybe India and Israel could collaborate more on innovation projects that benefit both nations. Both countries face similar challenges in water conservation and agriculture.

Good to see Israel getting positive international exposure. As an Indian, I appreciate their technological advancements, though I wish the article had less focus on biblical connections and more on actual innovations that could benefit humanity. The visitor numbers show people are clearly interested!

The Hasmonean stone display sounds magical! Reminds me of how we could showcase artifacts from ancient Indian civilizations like Harappa or Vijayanagara at such events. Cultural diplomacy is so important in today's world. Hope our ministers give equal importance to promoting India's soft power abroad.
