North Korea is to send a delegation to the 2018 Winter Olympic Games taking place in South Korea in February, officials from the South say.
The breakthrough announcement came as the countries met for their first high-level talks in more than two years.
The delegation will include athletes, officials and supporters.
A military hotline between the nations, suspended for nearly two years, will be reinstated from Wednesday, the South's officials said.
North v South: A history of sport, bombs and diplomacy
What's happened at the talks?
They have continued all day and the developments have been conveyed by officials from the South:
- Vice unification minister Chun Hae-sung told journalists: "The North side proposed dispatching a high-level delegation, National Olympic Committee delegation, athletes, supporters, art performers, observers, a taekwondo demonstration team and journalists" to the Games
- The South proposed that athletes from both Koreas march together at the opening ceremony in Pyeongchang as they did at the 2006 Winter Olympics
- The South pushed for the reunion of family members separated by the Korean War – a highly emotional issue for both countries – to take place during the Lunar New Year holiday, which falls in the middle the Games
- The South also proposed resuming negotiations over military issues and the North's nuclear programme
- The South said it would consider temporarily lifting relevant sanctions, in co-ordination with the UN, to facilitate the North's participation in the Olympics
The North's response to all of the South's proposals is not yet known. The opening remarks of head of the North Korean delegation, Ri Son-gwon, were fairly neutral.
He said he hoped the talks would bring a "good gift" for the new year and that the North had a "serious and sincere stance". (BBC)
