South Korea has offered to hold high-level talks with North Korea over the North possibly taking part in the Winter Olympic Games next month. Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon said Tuesday that South Korean officials want to meet North Korean diplomats in one week. He said the two sides could meet at Panmunjom, a village in the demilitarized zone separating the Koreas. The meeting would be the first high-level talks between the sides since December 2015. The South Korean offer came one day after North Korea leader Kim Jong Un gave his New Year’s Day message. In it, Kim announced that he is considering sending a team to take part at the winter games, in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
