I've found a topic where にも is discussed but it's not the same context and the
explanations doesn't suit if I understand well: [What is the function of にも in
this sentence?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/18769/what-is-
the-function-of-%E3%81%AB%E3%82%82-in-this-sentence)

Thank you.

question
particle-に particle-も
What is the meaning of にも?
Let us first get this usage of 「に」 down.

> 「Person + **に** + Verb in te-form + ほしい」

means:

> "(Someone) wants (Person) to (verb)."

The particle needs to be 「に」 there; No other will work.

So, adding a 「も」 should not make it any more difficult.

> 「Person + **にも** + Verb in te-form + ほしい」

thus means:

> "(Someone) wants (Person) **also** to (verb), too."

The "also" modifies (Person) here.

> "President Moon would like the North Korean athletes also to participate in
> the Olympics."

I hope you understand now that it is not possible to translate 「にも」 all by
itself.
