Astra Affirms Commitment to Supporting Indonesia’s Economic and Cultural Diplomacy at the Closing of the Indonesia Pavilion at World Expo 2025 Osaka

OSAKA, JAPAN: Astra participated in the closing ceremony of the Indonesia Pavilion at the World Expo 2025 Osaka, Japan, held on Sunday afternoon (October 12). Astra’s presence at the event underscored the company’s role in supporting the Indonesia Pavilion and demonstrated its commitment to strengthening the nation’s economic and cultural diplomacy through public-private-community collaboration.

Adopting the theme “Thriving in Harmony: Nature, Culture, Future,” the Indonesia Pavilion successfully captured visitors’ attention throughout the Expo by showcasing Indonesia’s natural wealth, cultural richness, and national innovation on the world stage. The Pavilion symbolized the harmonious fusion of nature, culture, and technology, aligning perfectly with the World Expo 2025 Osaka’s theme of “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.”

“The Indonesia Pavilion welcomed over 3.5 million visitors, making it one of the most frequented and captivating pavilions in the ASEAN region and a highlight of the World Expo 2025 Osaka. This exceptional achievement shows that Indonesia’s participation went beyond simply presenting a pavilion; it was a strategic effort to enhance Indonesia’s nation branding, foster international cooperation, drive investment opportunities, and promote Indonesia’s tourism potential. We extend our highest appreciation to Astra for its support for the Indonesia Pavilion,” stated Minister of National Development Planning/Head of the National Development Planning Agency, Rachmat Pambudy.

“It is an honor for Astra to have been a significant part of the success of the Indonesia Pavilion at the World Expo 2025 Osaka, and to have contributed to presenting Indonesia on the global stage. Astra hopes that the spirit of unity, innovation, and sustainability that thrived at the Indonesia Pavilion will inspire the company to continue delivering a positive impact for today and the future of Indonesia,” said Astra Chief of Corporate Affairs Boy Kelana Soebroto.

Astra’s contribution included showcasing the works of the communities it supports, which demonstrated the spirit of collaboration and sustainability. Through its Desa Sejahtera Astra program and two foundations—the Dharma Bhakti Astra Foundation, which focuses on empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and the Astra–Michael D. Ruslim Education Foundation, which concentrates on education—Astra presented various contributions that highlight the cultural wealth and potential of the Indonesian people.

Astra has consistently supported the World Expo—beginning with Shanghai in 2010, followed by Milan in 2015, Dubai in 2021, and now Osaka. As the World Expo 2025 Osaka concludes, Astra expresses its appreciation to all those involved, including the Ministry of National Development Planning/National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) of the Republic of Indonesia, the Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, MSMEs, Astra-supported teachers and students, and the entire Indonesia Pavilion team.

Astra’s commitment to supporting the Indonesia Pavilion at the World Expo 2025 Osaka aligns with the company’s mission to Prosper with the Nation and supports Indonesia’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
