The Zimbabwe pavilion at Expo 2025 attracts thousands of visitors daily through virtual reality displays. The exhibition runs from April 13 to October 13, with Zimbabwe showcasing among other African nations. Japan, with its $4.01 trillion economy, represents a significant opportunity for Zimbabwe's engagement policy, which aims to build international partnerships.
Trade already exists between both countries, with Japan exporting $62 million worth of goods to Zimbabwe last year. These exports include transportation equipment, consumer goods, vehicles, and parts. Zimbabwe mainly sends tobacco, crude minerals, and cotton to Japan.
