Armenia`s premier takes part in event dedicated to Armenia National  Day in Osaka 

ArmInfo. In the Armenian pavilion called Pillars of Today and Tomorrow, four pillars symbolize 'Today's Armenia: history, culture, innovation and regional  opportunities'. This was stated by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan,  speaking at an event dedicated to the National Day of Armenia, within  the framework of the World Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.

'The other four pillars, symbolizing the future of Armenia, represent  the philosophy of technological, innovative education, the vision of  the future of teaching and education in Armenia, in the context of  which the Armenian educational initiatives oriented towards the  future are presented: Tumo, COAF, Armath, as well as new projects of  Armenia:  Academic City, Engineering City, he said.

Pashinyan recalled that on June 1 of this year, the Gunma branch of  the Tumo Center for Creative Technologies was officially opened in  Japan, which will be available to 1,500 young people living in the  prefecture's communities. Tumo's unique educational model will  include training in programming, animation, filmmaking, game  creation, 3D modeling, drawing and animation graphics.

Participation in this major economic event held in Osaka provides a  unique opportunity not only for the Japanese people, but also for the  entire world to present the economic, cultural, technological,  educational and tourist attractiveness of Armenia, opening up new  prospects for further development and deepening of cooperation in  these areas. The pavilion also pays special attention to the vision  of peace in Armenia - the implementation of the "Crossroads of  Peace", which we consider as a situation when countries live with  open borders, are connected by active economic, political and  cultural ties and strive to resolve all issues through diplomacy and  dialogue," the RA Prime Minister said.

Back in early September, the RA Ministry of Economy reported that the  Armenian pavilion at the Expo 2025 Osaka World Exhibition had already  been visited by about 1 million people. The Armenian pavilion is  divided into several sectors: the first sector introduces visitors to  the model of modern education in our country, within the framework of  which the TUMO Center for Creative Technologies, Armath engineering  laboratories, COAF technologies and a number of other educational  programs of interest to the Japanese public are presented. The next  sector is high technology, including the IT sector and high-tech  industry. The third direction is tourism and the last sector is food  and wine.

According to the RA Statistical Committee, the foreign trade turnover  between Armenia and Japan in January-June 2025 was amounted to $64.3  million, with an annual growth of 18.2%. At the same time, exports  increased 2.7 times to $10.3 million, against the backdrop of import  growth by 6.7% to $54 million. During the first half of the year,  1,081 tourists from Japan visited Armenia, which is 37.7% higher than  the figure for the previous year.
