KARACHI:

"The theme of Pakistan pavilion at Expo 2025, Osaka is inspired by unique natural treasure Pink Rock Salt, found only in the Salt Range of Pakistan," said Jam Kamal Khan, Federal Minister for Commerce, while talking to media at the exhibition on Tuesday. He outlined the vision of Pakistan's participation in the World Expo 2025, being held in Osaka, Japan, which encapsulates the country's goals for sustainable growth, cultural harmony and economic prospects.

The minister emphasised that Pakistan cannot remain absent from global platforms like the Expo 2025 Osaka, where the world comes together to exchange ideas and address challenges collectively. He stated that Pakistan has made its presence felt with a bold and unified theme that reflects the country's commitment to sustainability, creativity and exemplary craftsmanship.

He stressed that with the theme "Universe in a Grain of Salt," Pakistan's pavilion presents a compelling narrative rooted in nature. Highlighting the pavilion's symbolic use of Pink Rock Salt, the minister explained, "Salt, in its purity and strength, represents our timeless connection to the earth. Through it, we are sharing a vision of sustainability and nature-centric progress with the world."

"The pavilion was built on 100% energy conservation and minimal carbon emissions, aligning perfectly with the broader theme of Expo 2025: 'Designing Future Societies for Our Lives,'" he added. "Our message is simple – future societies must be born from nature and must remain linked to it."

The minister spoke about Pakistan's potential in sectors like textiles, food and agriculture, minerals, digital services and clean energy. He encouraged the international business community to explore investment and joint venture avenues while pointing to Pakistan's young workforce, strategic location and ongoing policy reforms.
