They agreed North Korea will send a delegation of officials, athletes and others to the Feb. 9-25 Games and they plan talks later on reducing tensions along their border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI keep myself open to any meeting including the summit (with North Korea) if it\u2019s helpful for an improvement of South-North relations or a settlement of the North Korean nuclear issue,\u201d Moon told reporters in a televised news conference. \u201cBut to have the summit, some conditions must be established. I think a certain level of success must be guaranteed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moon described the North\u2019s Olympic participation as \u201cvery desirable,\u201d saying he will push for more talks and cooperation with the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/flashpoints\/2018\/01\/09\/north-korea-taking-part-in-south-korean-olympics-after-talks\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18009127179586.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">North Korea taking part in South Korean Olympics after talks<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The rival Koreas moved toward reducing their bitter animosity Tuesday during rare talks, with North Korea agreeing to take part in next month\u2019s Winter Olympics in South Korea. The countries also agreed to hold more discussions on easing tension along their border and to reopen a military hotline.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday\u2019s accord was reached after Kim Jong Un made an abrupt push for improved ties with South Korea following a year of escalating tensions with the outside world over his expanding nuclear and missile programs. Critics say Kim may be trying to divide Seoul and Washington in a bid to weaken international pressure and sanctions on the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert welcomed the inter-Korean meeting which she said was \u201caimed at ensuring a safe, secure and successful\u201d Olympics. The U.S. said it was consulting with South Korean officials to ensure that North Korea\u2019s participation in the Games does not violate U.N. sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea\u2019s participation in the Winter Olympics won\u2019t affect U.S. participation in the Games, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, adding that the decision presents North Korea with an opportunity to see the value of ending its isolation from the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his New Year\u2019s Day address, Kim said he was willing to send a delegation to the Pyeongchang Games. Moon welcomed Kim\u2019s outreach and proposed the talks at Panmunjom, a proposal North Korea quickly accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chief North Korean delegate Ri Son Gwon read what he called a joint statement after Tuesday\u2019s talks, under which the two Koreas agreed to \u201cactively cooperate\u201d in the Olympics to \u201cenhance the prestige of the Korean people.\u201d He said the two countries will hold follow-up working-level talks on their Olympic cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/flashpoints\/2018\/01\/09\/venue-for-korea-talks-is-potential-flash-point-inside-border\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18009269802753.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Venue for Korea talks is potential flash point inside border<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The two Koreas\u2019 rare high-profile talks Tuesday took place at the jointly controlled area inside the world\u2019s most heavily fortified border \u2014 the same place where North Korean soldiers recently sprayed bullets at a colleague who was making a daring dash for freedom.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea is not a winter sports power, and two of its figure skaters, Ryom Tae Ok and Kim Ju Sik, earlier became the only North Korean athletes to qualify before the North missed a confirmation deadline. The International Olympic Committee said Monday it has \u201ckept the door open\u201d for North Korea to take part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Korea also agreed to restore a military hotline communication channel with South Korea, according to chief South Korean delegate Cho Myoung-gyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The restoration of the hotline was the second such move in a week. All major inter-Korean communication channels had been shut down over the North\u2019s nuclear program in recent years. But North Korea reopened one channel last week as signs emerged of improving ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cho said South Korea also called for talks at an early date to discuss denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula to promote peace. He said the two Koreas would continue high-level talks but didn\u2019t give a date for the next meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The countries have a long history of failing to follow through with rapprochement accords. In 2015, negotiators met for nearly 40 hours before announcing a deal to pull back from a military standoff caused by land mine blasts that maimed two South Korean soldiers. But animosities flared again several months later after the North\u2019s fourth nuclear test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, North Korea conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test and three tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Korea\u2019s
