The president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced plans to visit North Korea after the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. An IOC spokesman said Olympics chief Thomas Bach had agreed to the visit as part of the deal for North Korea to take part in the 2018 games. A date has yet to be set. The announcement follows the North’s invitation to South Korean President Moon Jae-in to visit the North Korean capital, Pyongyang. That visit would be the first by a South Korean leader to Pyongyang since Kim Jong Un became North Korea’s leader in 2011. Moon’s office says he wanted to create the environment for that to be able to happen. The South Korean leader got the invitation from high-level North Korean officials, who were attending the winter Olympics.
