The visiting delegation said developments in relations between the two Koreas should go hand in hand with relations between North Korea and the United States, the South’s presidency said in a statement.
The North’s delegation met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in at an undisclosed location in the Olympic city.
Moon, the North Korean delegation, and US President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, attended the closing ceremony on Sunday.
