ITF President Ri Yong Son made a memorial address.

He referred to the feats Choe performed by founding the ITF and steering the work for developing orthodox Taekwon-Do into scientific martial arts and disseminating it throughout the world.

Choe's desire to contribute to building a peaceful world with Taekwon-Do will surely come true thanks to the joint efforts of all Taekwon-Do practitioners, he added.
