South Korean organizers for this year's Asian Games said they've asked the International Olympic Committee to help bring North Korea to the quadrennial sports events.

The Asian Games' organizing committee chief Kim Young Soo asked IOC President Thomas Bach to make efforts to help realize a perfect Asian Games with the participation of North Korea in a Kuwait meeting this week.
