Meanwhile the General Assembly of New Jersey in the U.S. has passed a resolution designating November 22nd as "Kimchi Day". If the resolution is passed by Congress New Jersey will become the 8th state in the U.S. to celebrate "Kimchi Day". New Jersey was the first U.S. state to pass a resolution to celebrate 'hanbok' Korea's traditional attire back in 2021. With kimchi pleasing palates in quite a number of places worldwide pundits believe people in New Jersey will soon join the likes of California and New York in officially celebrating the signature Korean side dish.
What is the difference between a resolution ~doing and a resolution to do?
a resolution designating / a resolution to designate
