SEOUL, Feb. 9 (Yonhap) -- South Korean Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon will greet North Korea's high-level delegation, which includes leader Kim Jong-un's sister, when they fly to the South on Friday, government officials said.
Vice Unification Minister Chun Hae-sung and Nam Gwan-pyo, a deputy director of the presidential National Security Office, will also welcome the delegation at Incheon International Airport, they said.
The delegation led by the country's nominal head of state Kim Yong-nam will arrive in the South aboard a private airplane around 1:30 p.m.
The high-profile delegation, including Kim Yo-jong, the sister of Kim Jong-un, will stay in South Korea for three days to attend the PyeongChang Winter Olympics that open Friday.
It will mark the first air trip to Seoul by a North Korean delegation since October 2014, when three top officials -- Hwang Pyong-so, Choe Ryong-hae and Kim Yang-gon -- attended the closing ceremony of the Asian Games in Incheon.
