During a high-level diplomatic meeting, the governor of Nuevo León, Samuel García, was received by Her Imperial Highness Princess Hisako of Takamado at the iconic Akasaka Palace. The state governor described the audience as an honor and highlighted the importance of this approach to strengthen ties between Nuevo León and the Asian nation. “As I told you yesterday, this is a very important day for the diplomatic relationship between Nuevo León and Japan,” García said at the end of the meeting. The highlight of the meeting was when Princess Takamado confirmed her attendance at the commemorative FIFA friendly match, which will take place in Nuevo León and will pit the national teams of Japan and Tunisia against each other. “Today more than ever, Nuevo León is in the eyes of the world,” the governor emphasized, seeking to position the state as an international benchmark in sports and diplomacy. The visit of the Japanese princess to Nuevo León territory would be an unprecedented fact that would reinforce the cultural and political ties between the two regions. The historic match is shaping up to be one of the most relevant events on the international football calendar.
