2021/6/9
Japan welcomes Malaysian athletes to the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
The Government of Japan has never requested the Tokyo Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to deny entry of athletes from countries including Malaysia, where new variants cases were found, unlike a media report.
Necessary preparations are underway including putting in place full measures to prevent infection to ensure that Tokyo Olympics approaching next month are held in a safe and secure manner.
Japan sincerely hopes that the athletes from Malaysia, a long-time friend country of Japan, will achieve great results in the Tokyo Games.
