요약정보

President Lee Myung-bak flew to Pyeongchang by helicopter Tuesday afternoon to meet with visiting International Olympic Committee Evaluation Commission officials to be part of efforts to express Korea's determination to host the 2018 Winter Olympics.
President Lee welcomed the 14-member delegation by hosting a welcoming reception and reaffirmed the IOC members of his government's full support for Pyeongchang's bid and the people's zeal in realizing the goal of hosting the event.
This is Pyeongchang's third bid after losing out to Vancouver for the 2010 event and to Russia's Sochi for 2014.
The Korean leader also went on to stress the need to give opportunities to Asian nations to hold the Winter Olympics in order to further expand interest in winter sports across the continent.
Statistics show that out of 21 Winter Olympics total‚ 13 of them have been held in Europe and only two in Asia‚ both times in Japan: Sapporo in 1972 and Nagano in 1998.
Later in the evening‚ President Lee was briefed by the bid committee on how things are going so far and received reports on measures to contain the damage from the heavy snowfall that hit eastern Gangwon Province recently.
He also held a dinner with provincial government officials and bid committee members and encouraged them to do everything they can for Korea to win the rights to host its third major international sporting event after staging the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul and co-hosting the 2002 World Cup with Japan.
