On 9 February, Ambassador Takahashi received a courtesy call from a delegation of junior badminton players from Ehime Prefecture.
 
As a host town for the Tokyo Olympic Games, Ehime Prefecture has been strengthening partnership with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) by hosting pre-event training camps. In January 2022, Ehime and BAM signed a memorandum of understanding on the promotion of friendship and exchange with the aim of continuing and enhancing exchanges even after the Olympic Games ended.
 
Ambassador Takahashi told the delegation that grassroots exchanges, such as the sports exchange between Ehime Prefecture and BAM, are very important to further develop the longstanding mutual understanding and friendship between Japan and Malaysia, and expressed his hope that the circle of exchange will expand well into the future.
