Along with the fishing competitions, the WSFF General Assembly was held in the presence of the representatives from each member state.

The highlight of the ceremonies was the transfer of WSFF flag from Australia to Japan.
While the dinner was served, national teams demonstrated their talents in singing and dancing, leading to a perfection of the FWC objective, the international friendship and world peace.
