South Korea is launching efforts to get Korean traditional cuisine put on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The nation’s Cultural Heritage Administration will form a committee to this end and include Korean food experts as members. The committee will draft strategies to win UNESCO designation of Joseon Dynasty royal dishes during the organization's cultural heritage meeting slated for November in Bali, Indonesia.

The administration will also discuss ways to register certain Korean foods, such as "kimchi" to the UNESCO list next year.
