The Asian Equestrian Federation (AEF) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), the world governing body for equestrian sport.

The AEF, founded in 1978 in Bangkok, Thailand, is headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, and has 34 member national federations.

“We are delighted to sign a memorandum of understanding with the FEI, reinforcing our vital bilateral collaboration,” said Sang Jin Park, president of the Asian Equestrian Federation, Korea National Federation, and Samsung Electronics. “We have today discussed practical methods to promote and develop equestrian sports in Asia, and have reaffirmed the need to strengthen the role of the AEF as a representative of its 34 national federation members.

“We look forward to attracting further high profile international equestrian events to Korea and the Asian continent working closely with the FEI,” he added
