【Maldives】Invitation to the president of the Badminton Association of Maldives
In order to strengthen the cooperation and support for badminton between Japan and the Maldives, the Japan Badminton Association invited the president of the Badminton Association of Maldives. On the agenda were visits by the ambassador, practice games with junior and college teams, leader exchanges, as well as inspection of the training facilities. All this bodes for a strong future partnership.
The president of the Badminton Association of the Maldives met with the officers of the Nippon Badminton Association, the secretariat of the SFTC, and the ambassador of the Maldives. A courtesy call was paid to the secretariat of the JICA Overseas Cooperation Volunteers where views were exchanged on international cooperation through the support and promotion of sports. And at the Ajinomoto National Training Center, they watched the practice of the national team who were having a training camp. The Nippon Badminton Association is eager to continue its support and cooperation forged through this invitation.

• It was a very fulfilling programme. I got ideas for the development of the Maldives of through badminton.
• There was a variety of things to see, from extracurricular activities at the school to the training camp of the national team.
