The agreements were signed by PATU president Juan Manuel López and USA Taekwondo CEO Steve McNally, as well as Rafael Lebrija, General Director of La Loma, in the presence and with the support of PATU Secretary General Mario Mandel.
The first Memorandum of Understanding establishes a strategic alliance between the Pan American Taekwondo Union and USA Taekwondo. This agreement aims to promote the exchange of knowledge and experience, organise joint seminars, and training camps for the benefit of athletes in the region. The ambitious goal is also to establish the Olympic High-Performance Centre in North Carolina as a Pan American training centre, serving as a hub for the development and excellence in taekwondo. In the words of Juan Manuel López, president of PATU: "This agreement marks a significant milestone in the history of Pan American aekwondo. By working together, we can raise the standard of our sport in the region and provide our athletes with the necessary tools to compete on a global level."

The second Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Rafael Lebrija, General Director of La Loma, an institution dedicated to the development of education in the region. This agreement aims to have educational initiatives that will benefit communities with limited resources. The aim is to support developing countries and contribute to their overall growth through educational programmes designed to promote values, skills, and opportunities for future generations. Mario Mandel, Secretary General of PATU, expressed his satisfaction with these agreements: "We are committed not only to the growth of taekwondo in the region, but also to the overall development of our PATU family. These agreements reflect our commitment to using taekwondo as a tool for positive change in society."

These MOU's are just the beginning of a series of agreements that PATU plans to sign with various countries and governments in the region. The vision is to build a robust network of cooperation that will benefit the Pan-American taekwondo family at all levels. With these steps, the region is preparing for a promising future where taekwondo will not only be an elite sport but also a driving force for progress and unity in the Pan-American community.
