Koreas to march under single 'united' flag in Olympic Games

Koreas to march under single 'united' flag in Olympic Games
The "reunited" flag symbolises aspirations in both the North and South to end the nearly seven decades of division

North and South Korea have agreed to march together under a single "unified Korea" flag at next month's Winter Olympics in the South.

They also agreed to field a joint women's ice hockey team in rare talks at the truce village of Panmunjom.

These are the first high‑level talks between the two Koreas in more than two years.

The Games will take place between 9 and 25 February in Pyeongchang in South Korea.

If the plans are realised, a hundreds‑strong North Korean delegation ‑ including 230 cheerleaders, 140 orchestral musicians and 30 taekwondo athletes ‑ could cross into the South via the land border to attend.

The North has also agreed to send a smaller, 150‑member delegation to the Paralympics in March.
