SEOUL -- Despite doubts over North Korea's intentions in agreeing to participate in the upcoming Winter Olympics, South Korean President Moon Jae-in continues to try to coax the isolated state out its fighting stance, which could provide the diplomatic coup he is seeking.
The South's Ministry of Unification sent a delegation to North Korea Tuesday in order to prepare for joint cultural events the two countries are planning on the sidelines of next month's Pyeongchang Games. The 12-person team, led by the ministry's head of inter-Korean exchange, Lee Joo-tae, crossed the de factor border overland for its three-day trip a day after a high-profile North Korean team toured proposed Olympic concert venues in the South.
