On the invitation of the Indian Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO), Government of India, a high-level delegation from Chhattisgarh, led by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, on Thursday departed for Japan and South Korea. The primary purpose of the visit is to participate in the prestigious World Expo 2025 in Osaka, where Chhattisgarh will showcase its heritage, innovation, and future-ready sectors on the global stage. In Osaka the delegation will take part in the World Expo 2025, visiting global pavilions and hosting focused discussions to highlight opportunities in Chhattisgarh. The State has established its own pavilion within the Bharat Pavilion, reflecting its rich heritage, culture of innovation, and emerging sectors. This participation, made possible through ITPO’s invitation, positions Chhattisgarh prominently within India’s representation at the Expo. Before Osaka, the delegation will be in Tokyo from August 22 to 24 for investor connect sessions and meetings with Japanese industry leaders, trade associations, and investors.

 

After the Expo, the visit will conclude in Seoul with investor roundtables, sector-focused discussions, and engagements with top Korean companies to explore avenues of collaboration from 27-29 August. Chhattisgarh’s pavilion at the Bharat Pavilion has been designed to present the state’s identity and development journey, with special emphasis on industrial growth, renewable energy, IT, and sustainable models. Officials noted that this exhibition will serve as a global platform for the world to witness Chhattisgarh’s transformation and future aspirations. While the Expo remains the centre piece of the visit, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai will also use this opportunity to connect with Japanese and Korean business leaders and international stakeholders.

 

These interactions are expected to foster collaborations, strengthen industrial relations, and open pathways for knowledge exchange. By attending the World Expo 2025 on ITPO’s invitation, Chhattisgarh not only showcases its strengths to a global audience but also reinforces its commitment to becoming an active participant in India’s international trade and investment outreach. The presence of the state at such a platform underlines its aspiration to connect with the world on innovation, culture, and development. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai emphasized that participation in one of the world’s largest platforms for innovation and collaboration, made possible through ITPO, is a unique opportunity. It will help strengthen partnerships, attract investment opportunities, and open new avenues for Chhattisgarh’s economic growth and global recognition.
