Seoul: North Korea is “very willing” to hold talks with the United States, its delegation to the Winter Olympics closing ceremony said on Sunday, according to Seoul’s presidential Blue House.
In a meeting with the South’s President Moon Jae-in, the North’s delegation “agreed that inter-Korea talks and North-US relations should improve together”, the Blue House said in a statement.
