Sports Scene returns with news from the Korean Peninsula, where the DPRK is asking South Korea to hold vice ministerial-level talks on Wednesday at the truce village of Panmunjom. The reason for the meeting is to discuss the DPRK's participation in South Korea-hosted Winter Olympics. Local media are citing Seoul's unification ministry for that information. 

The DPRK proposed holding the working-level dialogue at the Peace House in Panmunjom Wednesday to discuss details on the dispatch of its delegation to the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games scheduled to run from February to March in PyeongChang. Seoul offered last week to hold the vice ministerial-level talks Monday, but Pyongyang made a counterproposal, offering to hold talks first about the dispatch of its art troupe to PyeongChang, which are currently underway.
