A United Nations resolution for the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games will soon be adopted, ahead of the global sporting event in February next year.
 
South Korea's Permanent Representative to the UN, Cho Tae-yul, told National Assembly members on Sunday that Seoul is pushing for a UN treaty on a global ceasefire during the Games as well as in the seven days preceding and following the event.
 
A UN truce resolution is traditionally passed by the 193 member states before the biennial games take place, in order to ensure safety and security across the world during the time of global sportsmanship.
 
The treaty will be introduced to the General Assembly on November 13th.

Although not binding, Cho said the resolution would have a significant symbolic meaning.
