South Korea and North Korea have agreed to create a joint Olympic team and march together in opening ceremony in the next Winter Olympics, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.
The two countries met for the second time in a week Monday to discuss the possibility of creating a joint ice hockey team for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
The nations also agreed to create a joint North and South Korean women's ice hockey team for the Olympics in Pyeongchang. This will be the first unified team for the two countries since they joined together for an international table-tennis championship and a youth soccer match in 1991.
North and South Korea have never marched together under one flag in any Olympic games.
