Officials from the 2 Koreas met at the truce village of Panmunjom on Tuesday discuss logistics for the Games, which begin on March 7. The talks came after the North's participation in the Olympics, widely seen as a successful piece of diplomacy.

Only two athletes, both para skiers, have been invited to take part in the Pyeongchang Games. North Korea last month agreed that it would send a 150-strong delegation, including cheerleaders and support staff. It will be the first North Korean delegation to attend a Winter Paralympics.
