South Korean president welcomes North Korean Olympic participation
Tehran (KNA) - South Korean President Moon Jae-in welcomed Kim Jong Un's speech and called for swift measures to help North Korea participate in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics during a Cabinet meeting in Seoul on Tuesday.
The North Korean leader struck an unusually conciliatory note in his annual New Year's Day address Monday, declaring his wish "for peaceful resolution with our southern border."
In the televised address, Kim called for peace on the Korean peninsula and said North Korean representatives should start talks with their South Korean counterparts "as soon as possible" to discuss sending a delegation to the 2018 Winter Games, to be hosted in South Korea next month.
