Bandar Seri Begawan - A Brunei delegation is currently in Tokyo, Japan to take part in the Aichi Expo 2005 which has attracted participants from more than 120 countries around the world.

Brunei Pavilion at the expo was officially launched by Mr Alias Serbini, Acting Brunei Darussalam Ambassador to Japan, on March 23.

Aichi Expo is an effort by the Japanese government to develop new modalities of life for the 21st century, and an attempt to rediscover `Nature's Wisdom' - science and technology inherent in the surroundings that together foster a sound balance between human life and the environment.

Visitors to the expo will experience `Nature's Wisdom' in three contexts: Rediscovering Nature, An Eco-Friendly Life With Nature's Wisdom and Visit the Future With Nature's Wisdom.

The Expo will showcase amazing cutting-edge technologies, giving solutions to myriad global issues and enabling the sustainable development of the world economy.

A wide range of cultural legacy and artistic beauty of the world will be displayed throughout the event with numerous world-class performers appearing on stage every day.

One example is the "Love the Earth" international music project with Mr Eric Clapton, its major contributor.

The expo not only focuses on entertainment but also promotes dialogue among world intellectuals to address issues on environment, energy, population, urban development and other areas which are of global concern.

The various seminars and symposia, which will take place during the expo hopes to create a global wisdom network and a long-term intellectual heritage, which is the vision of Aichi Expo 2005.

Meanwhile, the upcoming National Day of Brunei will be celebrated on May 18 at the Brunei Pavilion at the event.
