The Kingdom of Bahrain will inaugurate its fourth national participation in the World Expo at Expo 2025 Osaka in less than a month.

Construction is ongoing for the Kingdom’s pavilion, themed “Connecting Seas”, which, upon completion, will stand as one of the most sustainable pavilions in the Expo.

The pavilion seamlessly blends modernity with heritage, narrating Bahrain’s enduring connection with the sea from the Dilmun civilisation to the present day.

Theme

Expo 2025 Osaka will take place in the Kansai region of Japan from April 13 to October 13, under the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives”.

It features three sub-themes: “Saving Lives”, “Empowering Lives”, and “Connecting Lives.”

Organisers expect over 28 million visitors to explore contributions from around 150 countries.

The Expo will feature various events, providing opportunities for people to connect and exchange knowledge for the betterment of humanity.

National day

Each pavilion will have the opportunity to designate a national day during the Expo to celebrate its culture and values.

Located in the Empowering Lives district, the Kingdom of Bahrain’s Pavilion, is organised by Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities (BACA), and designed by the Paris based Lebanese architect Lina Ghotmeh with her practice Lina Ghotmeh; Architecture spans 995 square metres with a total height of 13.7 metres across four levels, offering a scenic view of the sea.

His Excellency Shaikh Khalifa bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, President of BACA, emphasised that participating in the Expo for the fourth consecutive time provides Bahrain with a vital global stage to showcase our nation’s cultural achievements and solidify the Kingdom’s position as a leading hub of innovation, culture, and a dynamic, advanced economy.

Vision

He added that the vision seeks to highlight Bahrain’s rich heritage, long history, current achievements, and future goals.

By showcasing the Kingdom’s maritime legacy, which is central to its civilisation, the aim is to show that while Bahrain is deeply rooted in strong values and culture, it also embraces innovation and sustainability to build a better future.
