The President of Japan Hayashi-Ha Shito Ryu Kai KAICHO TSUYOSHI KONDO I take great pleasure to extend my warmest congratulation to the Malaysia Hayashi-Ha Karate Federation on the occasion of the 5 th ASPAC Hayashi-Ha International Karate Championship 2018. This Championship will certainly promote Karate as a Japanese national sport and martial arts to more people around the globe particularly at the grassroots level and is a good opportunity to encourage cultural exchange among members of participating countries. It is through meaningful events like this Championship that we are able to forge strong relationships among the countries in various fields related to sports, culture andeducation. Karate has gained significant popularity and recognition since its acceptance into the 2020 Olympic Games as an official medal event. Here, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the Organising Committee for making this event a great success. Thank you.
