NEW YORK (Jiji Press) — An event was held at the U.N. headquarters in New York on Monday to promote Osaka’s bid to host the 2025 World Expo.

Osaka Mayor Hirofumi Yoshimura and Parliamentary Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs Mitsunari Okamoto promoted the city to foreign diplomats.

The event was also attended by Pikachu, the leading character of the popular video game series Pokemon and a special envoy for Osaka’s expo bid.

Hosting the expo “will give a boost to Japan’s economy,” Yoshimura told reporters after the event.

Osaka hopes to improve economic levels in Japan through the expo, he stressed.
