The Nordic Pavilion at EXPO 2025 Osaka has been a fantastic demonstration of the close collaboration between the Nordic countries. I am proud to see new Nordic-Japanese relationships emerge, including in the business sector via the Nordic Kansai Business Alliance.

Anders Adlercreutz, Finland’s Minister of Education and Nordic Co-operation

The Nordic Pavilion at EXPO 2025, which has now resulted in a whole new chamber of commerce, is proof of what we can achieve together – a joint chamber of commerce that will generate added Nordic-Japanese value here in Kansai.

Karen Ellemann, Secretary General of the Nordic Council of Ministers
