North Korea, South Korea agree to march together under unified Korea flag at Winter Olympics
In a massive international development earlier today, North Korea and South Korea agreed to march together under unified Korea flag at Winter Olympics, depicting the entire Korean peninsula.

According to Seoul's Unification Ministry the two sides reached an agreement during talks on Wednesday at the border village of Panmunjom.

The two sides have been discussing ways to participate together in the Winter Olympics. According to Reuters, North Korea is likely to send a 550-strong delegation to the Winter Olympics.


Earlier both sides had agreed for the first time in more than two years - about the Olympics, offering a respite from a months-long standoff over the North’s missile and nuclear programs, which it conducts in defiance of U.N. sanctions, according to Reuters.

South Korea says North Korea plans to send a 230-member cheering squad to South Korea during next month's Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
