The four-day tournament attracted the participation of over 2,500 individuals, including officials, coaches, and athletes, from 29 countries and territories.
The Championships served not only as an opportunity to boost the development of Taekwondo, but also a bridge to strengthen co-operation between international police forces for global peace and security.
With the slogan of “The Power of Police! Taekwondo Police - global citizen protectors”, the event demonstrated the spirit of solidarity and co-operation of law enforcement forces from around the world and was also a testament to Vietnamese commitment to maintaining regional and global peace and stability.
