The Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism of South Korea delivered the following speech: "First of all, please accept my warmest greeting as you successfully host the 4th TAFISA World Sport for All Games in Busan, a renowned Sport for All festival in the world. Under the slogan of Harmony of Tradition and Future for the World Peace and Prosperity, a number of players from all over the world will introduce, compete and demonstrate their unique traditional sports in Busan this year. Further, Sport for All members as well as spectators will have the opportunity to experience the traditional sports of each nation themselves. This is a world sport culture festival. The psychological and physiological stresses coming from the pathological phenomena in the urban industrial societies seriously threaten the health of people worldwide. For such reason, a role of sports is important more and more. There is an increasing number of people that consistently look for Sport for All to compensate their lack of exercise, get rid of such stress, and finally enjoy a fruitful life. Thus, the government are also arranging a variety of Sport for All policies to increase the people's happiness and health and for the development of country. I hope that the Busan Games will be a trigger to boost Sport for All movement. For the first time in the history of the TAFISA Games, the Busan Games has the honour of receiving the official sponsorship of IOC, UNESCO, WHO. Because the traditional sports is an expression of national sentiments and motion as their unique identity and culture. While culture is handed over to the next generation with its old values preserved, the traditional sports of each nation is an on going cultural activity brought actively to life in their lives now. Through this festival, I expect that a variety traditional sports with cultural contents shall be broadly executed, which would provide an opportunity to develop the traditional sports suitable to this global sports arena. The Busan Games will be a great festival to improve the Sport For All movement and to develop the sports culture. I wish the 4th Busan TAFISA World for All Games with great success."
