South Korea's unification ministry says the North has proposed working-level talks on the prospects of sending its performance 'art' group to the Winter Olympics.
"North Korea sent a notification suggesting to have working-level talks at the Tongil Pavilion on the North Korean side of the truce village of Panmunjom on January 15 to discuss about sending its performance group," the ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
The ministry said North Korea wanted to also propose another date for working-level talks about its participation in the Winter Olympics.
The Olympics will be held in Pyongchang from February 5 to 25.
