Celebrating 50 Years of ITF Taekwon-Do in Santiago del Estero, Argentina

The Province of Santiago del Estero, Argentina, proudly hosted a remarkable commemorative event marking the 50th Anniversary of ITF Taekwon-Do. The celebration brought together a distinguished assembly, including authorities from the Provincial Government, the Municipality of the capital city, and representatives from the press across print, television, and radio.
