Ammon News - The stage is set to celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Jordan this month.

“Several events are going to be held during summer in celebration of Korean-Jordanian diplomatic ties,” South Korea’s Ambassador to Jordan Lee Jae-Wan said during a media gathering at his residence on Monday.

Lee added that a joint taekwondo performance between the “K-Tigers” and the Jordanian Taekwondo Federation’s team will take place on July 26 at the Cultural Palace in Al Hussein Youth City.

He stated that “Boys In Groove (B.I.G)” band will perform at the Jerash Cultural Festival on August 5.

“B.I.G will perform the following day at the Cultural Palace as well,” the ambassador said.
