The Korean Sports Association of the Disabled, based in Moranbong District of Pyongyang, was founded on August 10, 2011, thanks to the benevolent affection of Chairman Kim Jong Il .
It has the mission of satisfying the desire of persons with disabilities to participate in sporting activities.
To this end, the association pays attention to raising public awareness of and interest in the sporting activities of the disabled and thus provides them with satisfactory conditions and environment. It also regularly organizes various sports games so that the persons with disabilities can achieve brilliant successes in international competitions.
As a result, the membership of the sports association increased remarkably in the past decade, and many of them achieved notable successes in international competitions as good as professional athletes.
The first success of the disabled sportspersons from the DPRK was achieved in the third Asian games of the young disabled persons held in 2013. They won four silver medals and one bronze medal in the table tennis and swimming events respectively.
They also gained excellent results in several international games, including the Second and Third Asian Para Games, and the 12th Winter Paralympics.
The association conducts brisk technical exchanges and wide publicity and information work in order to strengthen cooperation with national Paralympic committees in foreign countries.
