The Korean Skating Union announced on the 17th (Korean time) that Lee Su-gyeong (Chairman) attended the '60th International Skating Union (ISU) General Assembly' held in Tenerife, Spain, from the 10th to the 12th (local time).

According to the Korean Skating Union, the ISU General Assembly is the highest decision-making body where representatives from member countries worldwide gather to discuss amendments to competition regulations, operation of international tournaments, and strategies for sport development.

During the General Assembly, Lee (Chairman) met with ISU executives and Yeon Maeng (CEO) representatives from various countries to share major policy directions in the international skating community and discuss cooperation measures to strengthen the international competitiveness of domestic skating. In addition, opinions were exchanged on various areas including the operation of international tournaments, athlete support policies, and expansion of the sport's base, thereby strengthening international networks.

The General Assembly also yielded achievements in elevating the international status of Korean skating. Kim Jae-yeol, ISU President, ran as a sole candidate and succeeded in re-election, securing his leadership of the Union until 2030. Kim (Chairman), who was elected in 2022 as the first non-European president in ISU history, has laid the foundation through this re-election to continuously pursue the Union's innovation and growth policies based on 'ISU Vision 2030'.

In addition, Korean Skating Union member Kim So-hee was elected as a member of the 'ISU Short Track Technical Committee', a core body dealing with competition regulations and technical development directions. The Union evaluated this election as a reaffirmation of the professionalism and international status of Korean skating.

The Korean Skating Union stated, "Through this General Assembly, we will further solidify the foundation for cooperation with the international skating community," and emphasized, "Going forward, we will strive to expand our international sports diplomacy capabilities and actively support the advancement of domestic stakeholders into international organizations to elevate the status of Korean skating."

Meanwhile, this event participation was conducted as a project hosted by the Korean Olympic Committee and organized by the Korean Skating Union, with support from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Seoul Olympic Memorial National Sports Promotion Corporation.
