The global event, held on Osaka’s Yumeshima Island, concluded with a ceremony attended by organisers, delegates from participating nations, and Japan’s Crown Prince, Princess, and Prime Minister.
The closing ceremony reflected on the Expo’s central message of unity and collaboration under the theme “United in diversity.” This idea was embodied in the Grand Ring — a vast wooden structure designed by architect Sou Fujimoto — which encircled the national pavilions and served as a symbol of global connection in a time of increasing division.
