Japan Association for the 2005 world Exposition
Message from Chairman
TOYODA Shoichiro
We are grateful to the BIE for designating Japan to hold the 2005 World Exposition southeast of Seto in Aichi Prefecture and in its neighboring areas. Consistent with its "Nature's Wisdom" theme, this exposition will represent an effort to suggest new modalities in our relationship with the environment.
All people everywhere need to live lives compatible with the environment, and we hope to contribute to enhanced compatibility. This being an inherent issue for all humanity, EXPO 2005's achievements will live on as part of the global heritage long after the exposition ends. And these achievements will be magnified by broad international participation---your participation.
