SEOUL, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- South Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Wednesday agreed to let athletes march together at the opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics under a unified Korea flag, Seoul's unification ministry said.
The two Koreas also agreed to field a joint women's ice hockey team, while holding a joint cultural event at Mount Kumgang, a scenic resort in the DPRK's eastern region, before the opening ceremony.
Skiing players from the two Koreas would conduct a joint training at the DPRK's Masik Pass ski resort to participate in the 2018 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games slated to run from February to March in South Korea's eastern county of PyeongChang.
The agreements were reached after South Korea and the DPRK held a vice ministerial-level dialogue at Peace House, a building controlled by South Korea in the truce village of Panmunjom. Enditem
