Each nation celebrates its National Day during the six-month event. Kazakhstan’s turn came on 10 August.
The morning in Osaka began with Kazakh music. The celebrations opened with a parade led by strongman and four-time world record-holder Sergey Tsyrulnikov carrying the national flag, joined by Kazakh warriors (batyrs) and an orchestra. The performance drew a large crowd along the Grand Ring, the Expo’s main wooden structure encircling all pavilions, symbolising unity among nations.
