[Ambassador] Visit to the International Aikido Summer Camp

On the 14th of August, Ambassador Mikami participated in the International Aikido Summer Camp in Spa, held by the Association Francophone d’Aikido (AFA) in cooperation with Mr. Miyamoto Tsuruzo, shihan of Aikikai Foundation. There were almost 250 participants in total from 15 different countries. The International Aikido Summer Camp contributes every year to the cultural exchange and the promotion of mutual understanding between Japan and Belgium through aikido. We are deeply grateful to all those who contributed to the success of the visit, in particular Mr. Frédéric Daerden, Vice-President of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and Mr. Dany Leclerre, former president of the AFA (The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays, 2016).
