18 September 2023 - In conjunction with the Malaysia Day celebration and the 66th anniversary of Malaysia-Japan relations, the Embassy of Malaysia in Tokyo in collaboration with the Cultural Unit Theatre Association (CUTE) of UiTM Kelantan Branch and the Tokyo International Exchange Concierge Office, organised a cultural diplomacy programme.
Around 40 students from Fuchu Nishi Senior High School had a chance to feel and experience Malaysian culture including playing Malay traditional musical instrument “Kompang”, performing traditional dance “Joget”, as well as wearing “Semutar” (head gear) and “Kain Sarong” (skirt).
The cultural diplomacy programme is an initiative to promote the uniqueness of Malaysian culture to other countries. It serves as a platform to understand Malaysian heritage and at the same time to foster people-to-people interaction.
