RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan includes a display of manga drawings that tell the stories of some of the Kingdom’s most influential women and how their accomplishments have inspired generations.

Three of the women featured are: Rania Moualla, founder and president of the ZADK Culinary Academy; Mashael Al-Shamimry, aerospace engineer and founder of Mashael Aerospace; and Jumana Al-Rashed, CEO of Saudi Research and Media Group and chair of the Red Sea Film Foundation.

According to the organizers, the pavilion aims to celebrate Saudi women leaders, foster dialogue with other cultures and highlight the Kingdom’s transformation, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

Over the course of the Expo, which runs from April to October, the pavilion will host more than 700 events that provide visitors with an insight into the diversity of Saudi heritage, culture and arts.
