The rival Koreas agreed Friday to revive their first formal dialogue in more than two years on Tuesday to find ways to cooperate on the PyeongChang Olympics.
The announcement by Seoul’s Unification Ministry came hours after the United States said it has agreed to delay annual joint military exercises with South Korea until after the Winter Games.
On Friday morning, North Korea sent a message saying it would accept South Korea’s offer to meet at the border village of Panmunjom on Tuesday — one month before the Opening Ceremony — to discuss Olympic cooperation and how to improve overall ties, according to South Korea’s Unification Ministry.
