At Expo 2025, we are proud to reflect on these moments, which serve as a foundation for our ongoing collaboration. Today, our countries continue to work together in diverse fields such as technology, trade, culture, and science, with growing bilateral ties. Despite the current challenges, Israel participates in Expo 2025 with pride, celebrating our strong friendship and shared commitments.”
