A South Korean delegation is heading to North Korea today. National Security Advisor Chung Eui-Yong, who is leading the delegation, said they plan to hold in-depth discussions for ways to continue not only the inter-Korean talks but also the dialogue between North Korea and the international community including the United States.
He said the delegation will deliver South Korean President Moon Jae-in's firm resolution to denuclearise the Korean peninsula and create sincere and lasting peace. The delegation will fly to Washington on Wednesday to explain to the officials the result of the two-day trip to Pyongyang. Last month, athletes from both sides of the divided peninsula marched together at the South's Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, with the North's leader Kim Jong Un sending his sister as a special envoy to the event. The trip was the first visit to the South by a member of the North's ruling dynasty since the end of the Korean War.
