The tour is being held under the theme "peace through taekwondo", a key priority of World Taekwondo.

Last month, the demonstration team performed at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the World Taekwondo Championships in Manchester. 

They also carried out a number of joint displays with the demonstration team from the International Taekwondo Federation (ITF) in April, with venues including the Olympic Museum in Lausanne and the United Nations Office at Geneva.
