The 2018 Winter Olympics is just a few weeks away now and, in their latest effort to reconcile for the event, South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea have agreed to march together behind a unified Korean flag at the opening ceremony.
At working level talks ahead of the Pyeongchang Games, they also agreed to form a unified women's ice-hockey team. Pyongyang and Seoul have been discussing the DPRK's participation in the Games since last week. A 550-member delegation of athletes, high-level officials and performers are expected to be sent south over the border for the two-week event.
