2018-02-27 2

Officials from South and North Korea will meet once again today to talk about the North's potential participation in the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Paralympic Games-- a little over a week before the games begin on March 9th.
South Korea's unification ministry says three North Korean officials have been confirmed for the meeting,... including two who work for paralympic sport organizations in North Korea.
The two sides are set to discuss which sports the North Korean athletes could compete in,.. the logistics of getting the athletes to the host city of PyeongChang and accommodations for the visiting team.
Today's meeting comes after a flurry of diplomacy between the two Koreas that led to 22 North Korean athletes taking part in the PyeongChang Winter Olympics,... as well as the more than 500 that traveled to South Korea to take part in Olympic-related cultural activities.
