Patama Leeswadtrakul, the new president of the Badminton World Federation (BWF), spoke to the Chinese news agency Xinhua. She praised the importance of China for the development of the discipline. « China's ability to organize badminton events is truly exceptional. Each event is organized with remarkable perfection and a lasting impact for all participants and the public "She says.
« The Chinese model constitutes a precious source of inspiration which can be studied and applied thoughtfully when appropriate ", she believes. This could particularly benefit the African continent. « Africa, in particular, offers great promise and we will continue to look for ways to support progress through the knowledge sharing, to access opportunities and partnerships that reflect the context of each region”, explains Leeswadtrakul.
