Corea del Sur comienza preparativos para albergar cumbre del G20

Corea del Sur comenzó los preparativos oficiales para la cumbre del G20 que albergará en noviembre de 2010 con la apertura en Seúl de una oficina encargada de la organización.

"La cumbre del G20 es una reunión de los líderes más influyentes del mundo y como sede de esa reunión, tenemos mucho que hacer", dijo el jefe de la organización, Sa Kongil, que se refirió además al deber del Gobierno surcoreano de proponer soluciones para varios problemas globales.

Durante una ceremonia de apertura en Seúl, Sa dijo se baraja celebrar esa reunión en un centro de convenciones sobre una isla artificial, cuya construcción en el río Han se espera concluir la próxima primavera. "La ciudad está trabajando para ofrecer un apoyo completo y riguroso", indicó el responsable de la organización del evento, que se espera atraiga a unos 10 mil participantes, entre jefes de Estado, de Gobierno y de Organizaciones Internacionales.

Consultado sobre si Seúl piensa invitar a Corea del Norte a la cita, Sa Kongil dijo que eso es poco probable porque el foro trata estrictamente sobre asuntos económicos y financieros.

Tras contemplarse varias opciones en Corea del Sur, país elegido para celebrar en 2010 la reunión de los jefes de Estado y de Gobierno de las principales economías industrializadas y en desarrollo, el comité organizador decidió a principios de este mes que Seúl sería la sede de esa cita mundial.

Ésa será la primera reunión del G20 como principal foro de discusión económica mundial tras la decisión tomada en septiembre en la cumbre de Pittsburgh (EEUU) para que sustituya al G8, el grupo de los siete países más industrializados y Rusia, como un consejo permanente de cooperación económica.

Kamus: El Logo de la reunión del G20 en Surcorea es un Sol que parece representar un Nuevo Amanecer donde la parte de abajo es de color azul y la de arriba es rojo si se fijan es practicamente el mismo simbolo de Obama solo con los 2 colores invertidas sus posiciones.

2010 G-20 Seoul summit preparations

The 2010 G-20 Seoul summit preparations encompasses all the work which precedes the fifth summit of the G-20 heads of government in discussion of financial markets and the world economy,[1] which will take place at Seoul, South Korea during November 11–12, 2010.

Multiple agendas

The G20 summit is not construed as having a global governance role, primarily in helping to establish a new agenda to respond to new challenges.

The government of Korea is reported to want to use the summit as a promotional opportunity, as happened with the 1988 Olympic Games and 2002 World Cup.

The pre-planning of others is less explicit. For example, North Korea remains a "cloud on the horizon."[3]

Planning for the summit encompasses nested aspects of the event, e.g.,

* Developing an understanding of each country’s perspective and ensuring that it is reflected in the agenda
* Preparing and coordinating the venue, facilities and staff required [4]
* Organizing arrivals, departures and accommodations [4]
* Coordination with international organizations, academia, research centers, NGOs, media, government departments, and local governments [4]
* Media Center, including support for members of the press [4]

Timeline

In November, sherpas representing the summit participants will have preparatory meetings to put the finishing touches on summit planning.

Pre-summit events are scheduled in an orderly timeline as follows:

* November 11–12 (Seoul): G20 summit[6]
* November 10–11 (Seoul): Business summit[6] scheduled on the periphery of the G-20 Summit. Planners anticipate that chief executives of the top 20 business firms of the G-20 member nations will attend.[7]
* October 22–23 (Gwangju): G20 Finance Ministers' and Central Bank Governors' Meeting[6]
* September 4–5 (Gyeongju): G20 Deputies' Meeting[6]
* July — Former Ghanaian President John Agyekum Kufuor attended the preparatory meeting in Korea as the representative of the Club of Madrid, which is an organization of former democratically elected heads of state.

Site construction

In conjunction with the Seoul summit, three artificial islands and venues are being built at a cost of 96.4 billion won. The international leaders will meet on islands in the midst of the Han River between the Banpo and Dongjak bridges in Seoul.[9]

The islands will be connected via a secured bridge and located between the Banpo Bridge and Dongjak Bridge. The three artificial islands will be home to the main convention hall with restaurants and a park. Initial work is expected to be completed by September.[9]

Website, logo, and slogan

The logo reflects the summit slogan — "with people to the world; with the world to the future"

The initial publicly visible preparatory steps were in the creation of a website. After four months of test runs, the online venue became a platform for announcing the choice of a summit logo, which was chosen out of 2,279 entries in an open contest.[10] The Korean lantern logo represents light shining in the dark and also the light which welcomes guests.[11] This forward-looking theme is repeated in the official Korean slogan — "with people to the world; with the world to the future." The logo incorporates an image of the sun rising over the sea, and the 20 rays coming from the center represent the 20 members of the meeting.[9]

Security

The South Korean People National Police Agency (NPA) created a special police unit as part of its efforts to enhance security at the G-20 summit. Th NPA-lead security committee will coordinate the work of 25 government-related agencies,[12] including:

* Presidential Security Service[12]
* National Intelligence Service[12]
* Ministry of National Defense[12]
* National Emergency Management Agency[12]

This security will limit access some parts of the summit islands. The waters of the Han River will be closely monitored.

World leaders attending this summit will stay at various hotels around Seoul, but, for security reasons, the press have been discouraged from writing about this aspect of summit preparations.[9]
