The event, running until March 12, sees the participation of nearly 1,000 competitors from 56 taekwondo clubs across the country.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Director of the Quang Nam Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Thanh Hong said the event helps promote Viet Nam’s image as a safe destination and celebrates the National Tourism Year - Quang Nam 2022.
