Korea will officially open the doors of its high-tech media center to the world's press on Sunday for a global summit aimed at preventing nuclear terrorism and ensuring atomic safety, organizers said Wednesday.

The International Media Center, located close to the conference hall of the Convention and Exhibition Center (COEX) where the two-day Nuclear Security Summit starts Monday, will host thousands of journalists from around the world.

The summit will be the largest global gathering for South Korea, which hosted the G-20 summit in November 2010. Representatives from 58 nations and four international organizations, including 45 heads of state, will attend next week's summit.

"More than 10,000 journalists at home and abroad are expected to cover the Seoul Nuclear Security Summit," said a senior official at the Preparatory Secretariat for the summit.

"The International Media Center is ready to fully support journalists and staff and we will make our best efforts to prevent any inconvenience to them," the official said.

Giant screens and digital monitors at the media center will broadcast live all summit ceremonies and events, including the welcome reception, a working dinner and the chair's statements and briefings, organizers said.

The center will offer an on-site translation service in 11 languages, including English, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, German, French and Arabic, they said.

The main information desk provides general information for journalists, including summit schedules of televised programs, traffic and tour information, printers and fax machines, and other technical services, the organizers said. A lost and found service will also be located at the information desk, they said. (Yonhap)
