Nakipagkita rin si Katrina sa Japanese ambassador to the Philippines na si Kitagawa Katsuro at ang asawa nito nitong nakaraang buwan, bago siya umalis papuntang Japan.
Sa kaniyang Instagram post tungkol sa kanyang pagbisita, sinabi ni Katrina na malaking karangalan na maimbita sa bahay ng ambassador para ma-“experience their hospitality firsthand, to hear their insights into Japanese culture, and to receive their encouragement to take on a greater role in strengthening the relationship” between the Philippines and Japan. Dagdag pa ni Katrina, sinabi sa kanya ng ambassador na iuwi ang Miss International crown bilang “pasalubong”.
Layunin ni Katrina na iuwi ang ika-pitong Miss International crown ng bansa. Sa isang sit-down interview with GMA Lifestyle sa kaniyang send-off sa Novotel Manila Araneta City nitong nakaraang buwan, sinabi ni Katrina na ang pressure na nararamdaman niya ay internal at hindi external.
“We're the second best-performing country behind Venezuela, so of course there's a little bit of weight that comes with that history. But when it comes to pressure, I think it just pushes me to hold myself to a higher standard,” saad niya. “The six queens who came before me proved themselves when they were in Japan, so I have to do the same to show that I'm worthy of being the seventh. Thankfully, I haven't really received external pressure. It's all internal.”
