    Taekwondo has remained part of the official programme ever since thanks to the ongoing
    close collaboration between both organisations.
    President Choue hailed the strength of World Taekwondo’s relationship with FISU.
    “I am very happy to present an honorary black belt to President Erder in recognition of his
    outstanding contribution to Taekwondo. World Taekwondo and FISU have enjoyed a strong
    relationship for many decades. We look forward to building on this relationship in the years
    ahead.” President Choue said.
    President Eder commented: “It is an honor to receive an honorary Taekwondo black belt.
    Taekwondo is a very important sport for FISU. FISU will continue to cooperate closely with
    World Taekwondo and ensure as many students as possible benefit from this great sport.”
    He added that Para Taekwondo would be included in the 2027 Chungcheong Summer World
    University Games.
    In attendance at the ceremony were Mr. Eric Saintrond, FISU Secretary General, Dr. Kim
    Chong-Yang, chairman of the board of trusteeds of Hanyang University, Dr. You Byung-Jin,
    president of Myongji University, Dr. Chang Hosung, Executive Committee Member of FISU
    and chairman of the Board of Dankook University, Dr. Russell Ahn, FISU Taekwondo
    Technical Committee Chair and Mr. Jung Kook-hyun, World Taekwondo Council Members,
    Mr. Jeongkang Seo, World Taekwondo Secretary General.
    Following today’s award ceremony, President Eder will attend Opening Ceremony of the
    Daegu 2024 World University Taekwondo Festival tomorrow.
    The Festival at Keimyung University Seongseo Campus includes two days of Kyorugi
    competition tomorrow and on Saturday (July 7), followed by Poomsae events on Sunday
