Both parties inked the agreement at World Taekwondo's headquarters in Seoul today.

They have pledged to "exchange ideas and know-how" as well as "support each other in raising funds for their respective initiatives and projects for refugees".

The FFTDA has announced that it will sponsor an eight-person women's team and coach from Afghanistan.

"We share many values with FFTDA and have enjoyed close collaboration on projects in the past," said World Taekwondo President and THF chairman Chungwon Choue. 

"Through this cooperation agreement, we will be able to strengthen our partnership and ensure that we are maximising the reach of our humanitarian activities."

In March, the THF and FFTDA announced a joint "Sport for Protection" programme, which supports young refugees in France through taekwondo.

More than 12,000 people currently benefit from the project which will run through to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

"I am very happy to have achieved this goal with President Choue," said FFTDA chair Hassane Sadok. 

"FFTDA have been active in supporting refugee athletes during the past years, and I believe that our humanitarian activities could be promoted and better organised within the framework of this cooperation agreement, under the patronage of the THF."

Choue founded the THF, which runs projects with refugees and displaced people around the world, in 2015.

He announced its creation at the United Nations headquarters in New York, on the International Day of Peace.
