Tajik President Emomali Rahmon was presented with an honorary ninth-degree taekwondo black belt before wrapping up his visit to South Korea, according to taekwondo officials Thursday.
Rahmon, who was on a four-day visit for the first South Korea-Central Asia summit as well as a bilateral summit with President Lee Jae Myung, visited Kukkiwon, the governing body of taekwondo, in Seoul earlier in the day.
