Seoul to Host Nobel Summit

The World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates will be held in Seoul in October 2020.

Many winners of the Nobel Peace Prize are expected to attend.

The annual summit will bring together the Nobel laureates, as well as activists and university students.

Over 900 attendees will discuss ongoing global issues and ways to promote peace in the world.

The summit has been held every year since 1999 in different major cities.

Seoul is the second Asian city to host the event, after Hiroshima, Japan.

The Seoul government has been making great efforts to establish peace between South and North Korea.

This was the major reason for the city being chosen to host this year's summit.
