South Korea is hosting officials and executives from around 120 embassies and companies Friday to assure them that February’s Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang will be safe — despite nuclear threats from nearby North Korea.
The country’s Foreign Ministry planned to host officials from the U.S., Japan, Russia and China, as well as business leaders from the region and Europe, Reuters reported.
One official said the purpose of the meeting will be to “actively explain the Olympics will be safe.”
The Winter Games are scheduled for Feb. 9-25.
