North Korea Agrees to Participate in Next 2 Olympic Games

North Korea has agreed to participate in the next two Olympic Games — the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo and 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.  The announcement came after International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach  sat down with North Korea's leader  Kim Jong-un Friday.  Bach said in a statement that he thinks the joint march with North and South Korean athletes at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games "sent a strong message of peace." He said the North's participation in future Olympics can help lead to a peaceful future on the Korean peninsula.  The two countries are already on a more peaceful track after the 2018 Winter Olympics and will participate in  their first summit  in more than a decade on April 27.
