South Korean President Kim Dae-Jung has told his administration to give nation-wide support to Pyeonchang’s bid for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
He said the bid committee should draw up a competitive bid file as the Olympic Winter Games is a momentous international event which can help to improve the nation’s status abroad and its economy.
The bid file that Pyeonchang’s bid committee turns over to the International Olympic Committee by January 10, 2003 contains written guarantees for the construction of the 35 facilities that will make up the infrastructure for the 2010 Games.
