North Korea to send art troupe to South's winter olympics

NORTH KOREA will send a 140-member art troupe to the Winter Olympics in South Korea and may even field a joint ice hockey team, the two sides of the divided peninsula agreed yesterday.

The two Koreas met for the second time in a week yesterday to try to hammer out details for the North’s participation in next month’s Games.

North Korea said the art troupe will comprise 80 orchestra members and 60 members who sing and dance. The North Koreans will perform twice, once in Seoul and then in the city of Gangneung, where some of the Olympic competitions will be held, according to South Korean delegates who attended the meeting.
