Official Symbol of G20 Summit Unveiled

The official symbol of the G20 Summit in Seoul in November is a red and blue Cheongsachorong or traditional Korean lantern embellished with a rising sun. The lantern is usually used in traditional wedding ceremonies.

The symbol is based on a design that won a public contest by the G20 organizing committee.

Sakong Il, the chairman of the Presidential Committee for the G20 Seoul Summit, unveiled the symbol to the press at a ceremony on Thursday. The official website of the G20 Summit (www.seoulsummit.kr) was also launched. "The lantern represents the welcoming traditions of Korea and guidance that the summit aims to provide to the world economy," the committee said.
