The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) launched its Peace Corps and demonstration team during a ceremony Saturday at Kyung Hee University in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province.

The ceremony was attended by 27 Peace Corps members, who will be divided into seven teams and dispatched later this month to five countries ― China, India, Pakistan, Paraguay and Russia ― where they will work to promote the sport.

In addition to Peace Corps members, the ceremony drew 61 members from the demonstration team as well as several dignitaries. The demonstration team will be dispatched abroad upon requests from the WTF's 188 member countries.
