In hopes of hosting the 2036 Summer Olympics in South Korea 'The Peace Olympics on the Korean Peninsula' campaign was held at the Peace Plaza in Olympic Park, Seoul on the 25th. As the center of the sports community, seven organizations, including sports academia, sports corporations, sports civic groups, and sports organizations, participated in the event. Starting with this joint statement campaign, it delivers a strong message toward a peaceful global village and a win-win future as the completion of world peace.

In a joint statement read alternately by various representatives of the sports community "In order to promote and realize world peace as a sport under the IOC Charter beyond national sports competitions on the occasion of the 2036 Korean Peninsula Peace Olympics, the completion of global peace should be the most peaceful sports event in which the value of sports is ubiquitous among all mankind."," he stressed. They also agreed to promote the 2036 Summer Olympics as a peace Olympics on the Korean Peninsula, a new turning point for the 80th anniversary of division beyond the long-standing aspirations of athletes and megasport events.

The sports community said, "Sports are the only sports in hand even when the political dialogue between the two Koreas has been cut off." The unified women's ice hockey team at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, the unified Korean canoe team at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games won the gold medal, and the joint entrance of the 2000 Sydney Olympics showed the pride of South Korea in practicing peace as a sport," he stressed.




The IOC (International Olympic Committee) has also recently repeatedly emphasized the importance of 'sports diplomacy for peace and integration', and there is a view that it is likely to convey a positive and friendly message about hosting a peace Olympics on the Korean Peninsula. A citizen who participated in the statement campaign said, `Although we live in a different system, there would be no more moving moment in history and the world if we became one of the same people and hosted the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and the 2036 Peace Summer Olympics on the Korean Peninsula.' The sports community will expand this statement campaign event to a national consensus and serve as an important opportunity to inform the international community of the legitimacy of the Korean Peninsula Olympics and the symbolism of peace. In the future, we will actively continue campaigning and implementation as activities for attracting and exchanging international sports competitions by sport and region centered on inter-Korean cooperation.
