The reception celebrated the opening of the Photo Exhibition displaying over 150 pictures taken by Japanese and Batswana of their stay in the two respective host countries. Attendees took a tour of the photo exhibition and enjoyed the photos of Japan taken by Batswana, uniquely portraying how Batswana see Japan and interact with Japanese people.
