Japan's industry minister Yoji Muto and Yoshitaka Ito, minister for the 2025 World Exposition, on Sunday visited the event's venue in the western Japan city of Osaka for the first time since they took office recently.
   "It is a very promising event in terms of spreading various technologies owned by Japan to the world," Muto told reporters after the visit to the artificial island of Yumeshima, where the Expo will be held.
   "We will work hard in cooperation with the local business community in a bid to attract many visitors."
   Ito showed plans to carry out promotion activities both at home and abroad.
   Hirofumi Yoshimura, governor of Osaka Prefecture, and other local officials visited Yumeshima with the two ministers, who assumed their posts last Tuesday in the cabinet of new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.
