On a recent visit to Accra, the Korea Embassy presented a donation of five boxes of uniforms and protective gear to the Ghana Taekwondo Federation (GTF). The donation was made by Mr Park Kyongsig, the Korean Ambassador, as part of the government's commitment to the growth and advancement of Taekwondo in Ghana. Mr Kyongsig emphasized that helping the GTF to identify and nurture Taekwondo athletes across Ghana's regions has always been a priority of the embassy.
He expressed satisfaction with the achievements of the GTF and pledged continued support for the federation's growth until Ghana excels at the highest level of Taekwondo.
In addition to the donation, Mr Kyongsig commended the GTF for their successful organization of the 2026 edition of the Korean Ambassador Open Taekwondo Championship. He described the event as beautifully organized and noted a high level of display from the participants, indicating that Taekwondo is progressing in Ghana. Mr Kyongsig expressed hope that the positive relationship between the two countries would continue, even if a new ambassador is appointed.
Receiving the equipment, GTF President Mr Frederick Lartey Otu expressed gratitude to Mr Kyongsig for the timely gesture. He stated that the donation came at a crucial time, as preparations for major tournament qualifiers would soon begin. Mr Otu mentioned that the GTF had previously received uniforms from the embassy, which had been distributed to support athletes and technical officials during a recent awareness campaign in the Ashanti Region.
He further stated that the GTF would continue to rely on the embassy's support as they strive to produce top winners at the highest level of Taekwondo.
Mr Otu was accompanied by several members of the GTF executive, including Mr Maxwell Theodore Alornyo, the Vice President, and Ms Hannah Humphrey, the Board Member and Treasurer of the Federation.
