The National Assembly has adopted a resolution that urges the parliament and the government to cooperate on the successful hosting of the PyeongChang Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. 

Out of 296 lawmakers, 165 attended a plenary session on Wednesday, with 160 of them voting for the resolution. One voted against it, while four others abstained. 

The resolution contains the parliament’s will not to use the Olympics as an ideological tool and restrain itself from being embroiled in political confrontation and conflicts. 

It also calls on the government to not try to create a source of political strife during the Olympics and work to ensure that the Winter Olympics being held on the Korean Peninsula for the first time will be a landmark for bringing permanent peace to the region.
