IOC President Bach met at the UN with South Korean President Moon at the UN on Tuesday and is confident that the Pyeongchang 2018 Games will go on. Earlier they agreed that the Games would be “a great opportunity to bring all Korean people together.”
The UN Olympic Truce resolution for 2018 will be adopted in New York on November 13.
The Olympic Truce is a creative diplomatic measure to keep us on the playing field instead of the battle field. The Truce’s track record has been impressive on the peninsula. Overcoming steep hurdles, North Korea participated at the Seoul 1988 Games. Here is video of the two Koreas joined under one flag at the Sydney 2000 Games.
I am promoting the Olympic Truce for Pyeongchang which I discussed it in an interview about North Korea on China TV last night (watch here).
