I wonder if Astrid will pay a visit the Emperor and Empress whilst in Japan?

Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't mention Princess Astrid meeting the Emperor and Empress officially. English: https://www.mofa.go.jp/erp/we/be/page4e_001303.html

However, she might meet them privately?

Nikkei reported Belgium's Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib said the Princess intends to invite the Emperor to Belgium.
