In a step towards bringing down the enmity between North Korea and South Korea, South Korean officials have released a statement revealing that North Korea has accepted reviving peace talks with them.The meeting, on 9 January, will focus on finding a way for North Korean athletes to attend the Winter Olympic Games in South Korea in February.
These developments come soon after North Korean leader Kim Jong su’s New Year message to his nation in which he expressed his desire that it would be a good opportunity to hold peace talks with South Korea.
The meeting is expected to be held at Panmunjom, on the border.
The so-called peace village, in the heavily guarded demilitarised zone (DMZ), is where the two sides have historically held talks.
The priority of the meeting will be Pyeongchang winter games, said an official.
These will be the first high-level talks the both Koreas have had since December 2015. It is not yet clear who will be attending.

It is expected that the meeting will not just be concerned about Olympics alone and will also be regarding the peaceful relationship between two nations.
South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in has previously said he sees the Winter Olympics as a “groundbreaking chance” to improve relations between the Koreas, two countries still technically at war.
Meanwhile, America is not at all happy about these developments and has given warning to South Korea to not to fall into the trap of North Korea.
